ABS-CBN, GMA both claim ratings lead




ABS-CBN Corp. and GMA Network, Inc. both claimed the lead in nationwide TV ratings in June, citing data from different research firms.

In a statement on Tuesday, the Lopez-led media and entertainment giant said it grabbed a 46% audience share in total day national TV viewership in June, 12 points higher than GMA’s 34%, using Kantar Media data.

On the other hand, GMA said it posted a 42.3% average total day people audience share in June, while ABS-CBN recorded 37.6%, based on data from Nielsen TV Audience Measurement.

Kantar Media’s data covered a nationwide panel of 2,610 urban and rural homes, while Nielsen TV’s data covered 900 more homes than the former.

ABS-CBN said its average audience share during the primetime block (6 p.m. to 12 midnight) reached 50% in June, compared to GMA’s 32%. Its audience share for the morning block (6 a.m. to 12 noon) also reached 43% versus GMA’s 31%.

For the noontime block (12 noon to 3 p.m.) and afternoon block (3 p.m. to 6 p.m.), ABS-CBN’s average audience share stood at 43% and 44%, respectively, versus GMA’s 39% and 38%.

ABS-CBN, meanwhile, said it was the leader in the morning block, with a 43 percent share against GMA’s 37 percent. It was likewise ahead of competition in the noontime and afternoon blocks.

In Visayas and Mindanao, ABS-CBN led with larger margins. It cornered 55 percent against GMA’s 28 percent in Total Visayas, and 55 percent against GMA’s 29 percent in Total Mindanao.

Among its top-rating shows in June included FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano, which recorded an average national TV rating of 35.5%, while La Luna Sangre had a national TV rating of 34.1%.

Variety show “It’s Showtime” is still the most watched noontime show in the country with a national TV rating of 33% on weekdays and 20.5% on Saturdays, against its rival “Eat Bulaga” which only got 23.4% on weekdays and 19.3% on Saturdays, ABS-CBN said.
