In TVisions’ monthly attention rankings, measuring eyes-on-screen attention, CBS’s now-canceled Training Day topped the chart, despite low ratings. Huh? “Sometimes we see shows that have strong niche followings, but lower ratings top our attention list,” explained Mark Green, chief strategy officer. “This shows the commitment of the smaller audience to the show. Networks and producers point to our attention data to show the value of these types of programs for advertisers looking to capture attention of particular audiences.”
