Change Coming To Smackdown Live Commercial Breaks
BroadcastingCable.com has an article up right now noting that, going forward, NBC Universal will be using picture-in-picture commercial breaks to show more Smackdown action while advertisements run. USA tried this approach to action and marketing several times following the Brand Split in the summer of 2016.
According to the article, “During those breaks, ratings went up 13%, indicating that viewers stuck around instead of changing the channel, fast-forwarding or making a sandwich. The lift during those breaks raised the C3 ratings for the entire show by close to 2%. That’s good for NBCU.”
Also included in the article is a list of “Top 10 spenders on USA’s WWE SmackDown, year to date” provided by iSpot.tv:
