The return of NBA Basketball to NBC again tops the Promo Mojo ranker for the week ended October 26, making it TV’s most-promoted programming for a second week in a row.

Traditional broadcasters dominate the top five. NBC is joined by ABC, which hypes 9-1-1: Nashville in second place; and CBS, which gives some love to Sheriff Country in third and Taylor Sheridan’s reality music competition The Road in fourth.

Rounding out the top five is cable network Fox News, which leans into its Fox News Digital platforms, including its TikTok presence.

Notably, 9-1-1: Nashville scores the highest iSpot Attention Index (117) in the ranking, meaning viewers were on average highly likely to watch its promos all the way through (vs. interrupting viewing by changing the channel, pulling up the guide, fast-forwarding or turning off the TV).
