The 29th season premiere of ABC’s Dancing With the Stars shimmied its way to the top of the Promo Mojo ranker in the week ended Sept. 13, shifting previous chart-topper, a brand spot promoting the “Discovery family of networks” — including Discovery, HGTV, Food Network, OWN and ID — into second place.

Cable network Fox News promotes its presidential election coverage in third place, while Fox hypes its NFL games in fourth. Rounding out the ranking: CBS gives some love to the 55th Academy of Country Music Awards telecast.

Notably, the Dancing With the Stars spot has the highest iSpot Completion Rate (98.74) in this week’s ranking, meaning viewers were on average highly likely to watch it all the way through (vs. interrupting it by changing the channel, pulling up the guide, fast-forwarding or turning off the TV).
