Pitch, the new Fox series about a woman who makes a major league baseball team, premieres tonight. It’s already a home run with potential viewers. Canvs, the language analytics company that tracks emotions around content, found that, of all the fall premiere trailers, Pitch’s trailer generated the most “love” and/or “excitement” on Twitter.
Canvs now has the ability to search out the comments on YouTube and Facebook as well. For this study, you’ll see the numbers it drew from them in addition to the Twitter emotions.
Other trailers that people are showing the love for are “This is Us” and “Designated Survivor.” Canvs conducted the survey for B&C from August 19 – September 18. Here are the top five, along with sample Tweets from the study:
