In our monthly reports for Broadcast and Cable TV ad attention, we examine episodic Primetime programming. We also provide app-level Ad Attention for the major CTV apps, including dMVPDs. To make the list, apps must meet a threshold of 1% share of time spent in our panel. Ad Attention is a metric that helps advertisers understand the relative value of placements across CTV and Linear.
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 36.5% and 34.5% for CTV.

There are several shows that make our list month in and month out, proving that their content and story-telling keep viewers engaged - that includes "Bob (Hearts) Abishola" on CBS and "The Conners" on ABC. The hour-long "Chicago Med" on NBC impressed with 50.8% ad attention. Typically longer-format programming has a harder time maintaining ad attention, as there are more opportunities for viewers to disengage.

| Home Economics | ABC | 50.10% |
| Bob (Hearts) Abishola | CBS | 46.80% |
