May 7, 2025
HGTV’s Rock the Block tops the Promo Mojo ranker for the week ended May 4, making it TV’s most-promoted show. The network also grabs second place for Castle Impossible.
HGTV is joined by two fellow cable networks: Fox News, which serves up a general promo for its news coverage in third place, and Food Network, which gives some love to its cooking competition 24 in 24: Last Chef Standing in fifth.
Rounding out the list is traditional broadcaster CBS, which promotes NCIS in fourth place.
Notably, Fox News scores the highest iSpot Attention Index (163) in the ranking, meaning viewers were on average highly likely to watch its news promos all the way through (vs. interrupting viewing by changing the channel, pulling up the guide, fast-forwarding or turning off the TV).
