If it felt like everyone you know was talking about the final season of Better Call Saul on AMC, you are not alone. The show garnered the highest ad attention overall among Broadcast and Cable primetime programming in July 2022 at 49.5%.
Ad Attention is a metric that helps advertisers understand the relative value of placements across CTV and Linear. Because advertisers can buy at the program level on linear, but not on CTV, it makes sense to review program attention data for Broadcast and Cable networks, and app-level attention data for ad-supported applications.
TVision's Ad Attention metric measures how well a program keeps viewers' eyes on the screen during commercial breaks. The average ad attention for linear television is 37% and 34.5% for CTV.
