Offline word-of-mouth tops social media, digital contact, and promotions in increasing the likelihood someone will view a show, according to CRE’s Talking Social TV 2.

But, as many multi-screen addicts know, Twitter and text messaging had a bigger impact while study respondents were watching TV.”
“The report also looks at the potential effect of such communications on various types of network and cable programs.
