For Tuesday, August 4, 2015 (Posted on August 5, 2015)
NBC #1 Tuesday as ‘America’s Got Talent’ top program.
NBC
The Peacock Network won again on Tuesday, something it probably will not be able to accomplish when the season begins in the Fall. At 8P, ‘America’s Got Talent’ finished with an average 9.99 million viewers and a 6.6 rating and an 11 share of the available audience as it was #1 on the evening. At 10P, ‘Hollywood Game Night’ finished with an average 4.38 million viewers and a 2.9/5.
CBS
The Tiffany Network finished #2 on Tuesday with a schedule of reruns sandwiching an original program. First off at 8P, a rerun of the world’s #1 TV drama, ‘NCIS’ fished with the network’s high of 7.10 million viewers and a 4.5/8. Then at 9P, an original airing of ‘Zoo’ finished with an average 5.95 million viewers and a 4.0/7. At 10P, a rerun of ‘NCIS: New Orleans’ finished with an average 5.05 million viewers and a 3.6/6.
ABC
The Alphabet Network finished third on Tuesday with an all music salute. At 8P, ‘CMA Music Festival: Country’s Night to Rock’ ran all night long in prime time and finished with an average 5.19 million viewers and a 3.3/6 as it finished down -23% from the year previous. It was a schedule filler.
FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcasting nearly died on Tuesday. At 8P, ‘Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader’ proved that it wasn’t as it only drew 2.17 million viewers and a 1.6/3. At 9P, as the network had cancelled Ryan Seacrest’s ‘Knock Knock Live’ last week, it put in two rerun episodes of ‘Last Man Standing’ and it drew an average 1.28 million viewers and a 1.0/2. Murdoch’s Minions are dead.
The CW
The Little Network That Couldn’t did die on Tuesday. At 8P, a rerun of ‘The Flash’ finished with an average 1.25 million viewers and a 0.8/2. Then at 9P, a rerun of ’iZombie’ finished with an 750,000 average viewers and a 0.5/1.

Mobile To Drive Huge 20% Increase In Online Video Viewing in 2016
How much more content can we watch? New findings from ZenithOptimedia suggest the average amount time people will spend consuming online video each day will increase by 23.3% in 2015 and by a further 19.8% in 2016. The growth in video consumption is being driven by the rapid rise of smartphone and tablet penetration across the globe, together with the resulting changes in consumer behaviour. Video consumption on mobile devices is forecast to grow by 43.9% in 2015 and 34.8% in 2016. Meanwhile, video consumption on non-mobile devices will continue to grow, though at more moderate rates, increasing by 9.5% in 2015 and 6.5% in 2016.
ZenithOptimedia expects mobile to become the main platform for viewing online video next year. In 2012 mobile devices accounted for 22.9% of time spend watching online video worldwide. By 2014, this proportion had risen to 40.1%, and Zenith expects it to reach 52.7% in 2016 and 58.1% in 2017.
ZenithOptimedia also predicts that the number of people regularly watching traditional, linear TV will peak this year, and will start to decline for the first time in 2016. The report states that the number of regular linear TV viewers will rise 3.1% in 2015 but then shrink by 1.9% in 2016 and 0.9% in 2017.
TV Campaigns Extend Reach Via Facebook Ads
Facebook has seen success with video ad placements, and recent research indicates that TV advertisers are leveraging the social network to stretch the reach of their campaigns. According to March 2015 research by Nielsen for Facebook IQ, Facebook helps advertisers running television campaigns target younger age segments that are harder to reach on TV. Facebook-only entertainment ad campaigns in the US reached 13.4% of the 18-to-24 targeted age group, or nearly a quarter of overall reach among the demographic. Cross-platform campaigns delivered an average reach of 15.5%, or almost 27% of the total. Meanwhile, among those ages 25 to 34, cross-platform ads reached 14.0% of the targeted age group and Facebook-only campaigns about 10%, representing 22.3% and nearly 15% of total campaign reach, respectively. The boosts are particularly significant when one considers that nearly seven in 10 people reached on Facebook of all ages fell in the 18-to-34 range, vs. 26% share of those on TV, emphasizing the huge reach advertisers can gain among these younger demographics by going beyond television.
Video continues to expand its share of both mobile and total Facebook ad dollars. According to research from Nanigans, video increased its share of overall Facebook ad spending worldwide by 23% between Q1 2015 and Q2 2015, from 13% to 16%. Growth was even more impressive when it came to mobile ads, where video’s portion of spending rose by 40% quarter over quarter, from 15% to 21%.
According to Kinetic Social, video’s share of Facebook ad dollars is larger in the US, where the format accounted for almost 27% of advertiser spend on the social network in Q2 2015. While this was slightly lower than its 28.0% share in Q1 2015, it was nearly double the portion it grabbed in Q4 2014 and more than triple that in Q2 2014. Overall, eMarketer estimated in April 2015 that Facebook ad spending worldwide would jump nearly 35% this year to reach $15.50 billion. At the same time, we forecast that Facebook mobile internet ad revenues would hit $11.01 billion globally in 2015, up 48.4% year over year.

Seven & Nine Battle In Court
Seven and Nine have appeared in court today over similarities between reality cooking programs ‘My Kitchen Rules’ and ‘The Hotplate’, as Seven looks to have its rival removed from air.
In proceedings at the federal court today, Seven claimed Nine’s The Hotplate was identical to its My Kitchen Rules show in editing that created dramatic tension and its use of stereotype couples from states, according to reports from The Australian. The paper is also reporting that Seven lawyers said The Hotplate was an attempt by Nine to undo its copyright over the My Kitchen Rules format. “The very thing it is intended to do is destroy and appropriate the format which My Kitchen Rules has controlled for six years,” lawyers for Seven said.
The proceedings come as ‘The Hotplate’ begins to pick up speed with TV audiences reaching its highest audience last night with a metro viewership of 944,000 according to overnight OzTam figures. Meanwhile Seven’s latest reality launch, ‘Restaurant Revolution’ has dropped to 522,000 viewers last night, since its launch audience of 676,000 last week.
Yesterday a spokesperson from Seven pointed to the similarities in format as to why it was brining the matter to court. “Channel Nine’s on-air promotions for its program had a strange sense of deja vu,” a spokesperson said. “We then saw it. We believe Nine has appropriated Seven’s ‘My Kitchen Rules’ original format and related production elements, and contravened copyright. That’s why we’re in court.”
As you can see, in or out of court, people were ‘Switching Channels’.
