For Thursday, October 22, 2015 (Posted on October 23, 2015)
CBS #1 Thursday as ‘NFL Thursday Night Football’ was the top program.
CBS
The Tiffany Network finished as the #1 network in America on Thursday in prime time. AT 8P, ‘NFL Pre-Kick Off’ finished with an average 10.47 million viewers and a 5.0/9. Then at 830P, ‘NFL Thursday Night Football’, the final night on CBS as it shifts to the NFL Network next week, the Seattle Seahawks beat the San Francisco 49ers in San Francisco 20-3 and brought in an average 11.08 million viewers and a 9.4. Let’s face it, with two losing teams, this was only going to be a moderate success.
ABC
The Alphabet Network with its all-female oriented programming countered with a strong evening with each of its programs up over the previous week’s Thursday performances. At 8P, in its 250th episode, ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ finished with an average 8.95 million viewers and a 6.9/11. It was the #1 program in having the largest increase from the pervious week on Thursday. At 9P, ‘Scandal’ finished with an average 8.26 million viewers and a 6.4/10. At 10P, ‘How To Get Away With Murder’ finished with an average 6.93 million viewers and a 5.4/9. The one discordant takeaway from this evenings performance was the slide from 830P to 11P. Once football is over, CBS will put up solid programming to counter. Will it be enough to win?
NBC
The Peacock Network finished well behind on Thursday as only ‘The Player’ finished up over last week as the network finished ahead of the comparable date last year. But at 8P, it wasn’t because of ‘Heroes Reborn’, which finished with an average 3.79 million viewers and a 2.6/4, a performance well below the competition and finished as the worst performing show at Sarnoff Siti. At 9P, ‘The Blacklist’ nearly doubled that performance with an average 6.53 million viewers and a 4.7/7 which improved in the second half hour to 4.8/8. This episode was spectacular and is a Must See TV ON DEMAND episode. At 10P, ‘The Player’ has improved a ton as the scripts have tightened and the action is often spectacular. This week proved that if given the time, it can be an asset to 30 Rock. In finished with an average 4.12 million viewers and a 2.8/5. It will need to pull off a miracle if it wants to say past the Fall season. But, despite the ratings, it was also a Must See TV ON DEMAND episode. Finally, it ranked #2 in the biggest increase over the previous week. If it would not have shown that increase, it would have fallen behind FOX on this Thursday.
FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcast had one of their most reliable programs on Thursday and another that will hit the graveyard yet finished ahead of last year on the same comparable date. At 8P, the great ‘Bones’, in an exciting episode which showed its wonderful script writing and acting, flowing humor in an out as it finished with an average 5.91 million viewers and a solid 3.5/6 to finished #3 in its time slot. This was a Must See TV ON DEMAND episode as one of the most well liked guest stars in the world, Betty White, made her debut on the series and it may be one of the best in the history of this program. At 9P, ‘Sleepy Hollow’ fell to the bottom with an average 2.94 million viewers and a 1.8/3. It should be cancelled.
Univision
The #1 Hispanic Network in America finished ahead of both Telemundo and The CW on Thursday. At 8P, ‘Antes Muerta que Lichita’ finished with a 1.1/2 HH rating At 9P, ‘Lo Imperdonable’ finished as the #1 Hispanic program on Thursday with an average 1.3/2 and at 930P, it increased to a 1.4/2 HH rating. At 10P, ‘Yo no Creo en los Hombres’ finished with a 1.1/2 HH rating.
The CW
The Little Network That Couldn’t didn’t. At 8P, ‘The Vampire Diaries’ finished with an average 1.23 million viewers and a 1.0/2, equal to what Telemundo would do. At 9P, ‘The Original’ finished with an average 950,000 viewers and an 0.8/1. How long can the CBS/Warner Bros. put up with this?
Late Night
At 1135P, ABC’s ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ was #1 again on Thursday as it ended its week in Brooklyn, NY, and finished with a 2.5/7. NBC’s rerun of ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ finished with a 2.2/6. In the delay (because of the NFL overrun) of CBS’ rerun of ‘Late Show with Stephen Colbert’ finished with a 1.7/5.

Marketing Trends
B2C and B2B Content Marketing Trends, Compared
Content marketing is more entrenched among B2B (88%) than B2C (76%) firms in North America, according to an analysis of the latest annual studies from the Content Marketing Institute and MarketingProfs, and both groups are shifting to more sales-driven efforts. Interestingly, B2C marketers are more apt than their B2B counterparts to believe they’re effective at content marketing (38% and 30%, respectively), and also report spending a greater share of their marketing budgets on content (32% vs. 28%).
With a majority of B2B and B2C content marketers expecting to increase the amount of content creation next year, both segments feel that producing engaging content is their top challenge, and around half of each group will increase their budgets over the next 12 months.
Looking at tactics, social media content is popular among both groups, although Facebook is tops in usage and effectiveness for B2C marketers and LinkedIn leads among B2B respondents. Search engine marketing emerges as the most effective paid advertising method for each group, although promoted posts are more regularly used by B2C content marketers. Overall, in-person events are seen as effective by both B2C and B2B content marketers, joined at the top of the effectiveness list by email newsletters on the B2C side.

ESPN Gets Out Of British Open Coverage
ESPN is officially out of the British Open business. NBC Sports announced Monday that it has reached agreement with ESPN to acquire next year’s British Open and related events. Terms of the deal were not announced, but NBC will pay ESPN “an unknown fee” according to Sports Business Journal. The addition of next year’s tournament tacks an extra year onto NBC’s rights deal with British Open organizer the R&A, which was to begin in 2017. It also further shortens ESPN’s 2010 deal to air the event, which was originally supposed to run until 2018. The R&A opted out of the 2017 tournament as part of the agreement with NBC, and now ESPN has opted out of 2016.
