GMA, ABS-CBN claim lead

By Miguel R. Camus





Media giants GMA Network Inc. and ABS-CBN Corp. released television ratings for August, each saying they have kept their leads in their respective areas.

GMA Network said in a statement that it had cornered an audience share of 42 percent against ABS-CBN’s 37.4 percent last month in the National Urban Television Audience Measurement. GMA uses data prepared by Nielsen TV Audience Measurement.

GMA said it was ahead of competition in Urban Luzon, where it got an audience share of 48.7 percent against ABS-CBN’s 31.4 percent.


It claimed a big margin in Mega Manila (Aug. 1 to 26 data) with a 51.9 percent audience share across “all time blocks” versus ABS-CBN’s 27.1 percent.


Urban Luzon and Mega Manila respectively account for 76 and 59 percent of all urban viewers in the country, it said.


Kapuso shows dominated the list of top programs in NUTAM with multi-awarded news magazine show Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho (KMJS) remaining as the most watched GMA show during the said period. GMA also claimed the top 8 spots in the Urban Luzon list while it swept the top 16 spots in Mega Manila with KMJS still at number one and was closely followed by 
Pepito Manaloto.

Also included in the list of top-rating Kapuso shows were 
Daig Kayo ng Lola Ko, Alyas Robin Hood, 24 Oras, My Love from the Star, I Heart Davao, My Korean Jagiya, Bubble Gang, Saksi, Magpakailanman, Celebrity Bluff, Mulawin vs. Ravena, Eat Bulaga, “Sunday PinaSaya, “Dear Uge, Ika-6 na Utos, “Tadhana, Impostora, Haplos, “Road Trip, Wowowin, and Hay Bahay.

ABS-CBN, which uses data from Kantar Media, said in a separate statement that it got an average nationwide audience share of 46 percent against GMA’s 33 percent for August.

ABS-CBN cited its lead in the primetime block, where it scored an average audience share of 50 percent, against GMA’s 31 percent.

ABS-CBN said the primetime block was coveted because this was when most viewers watch television, prompting advertisers to park the bulk of their spending during these hours.

ABS-CBN said it was also ahead in the morning and afternoon blocks, where it registered average audience shares of 40 percent and 43 percent, respectively, compared to GMA’s 30 percent and 38 percent.

In the noontime block, ABS-CBN’s audience share rose to 46 percent from the previous month’s 44 percent. It said GMA’s ratings had declined to 35 percent.

ABS-CBN also kept its total day lead in other areas such as Luzon as it hit 42 percent versus GMA’s 35 percent, in Visayas with 55 percent versus GMA’s 26 percent and in Mindanao with 54 percent versus GMA’s 29 percent.

“FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano” continued to hold the top position as the most watched program in the country with a national TV rating of 38.6 percent.


It was followed by the Philippine adaptation of talent-variety-talk show “Little Big Shots,” which recorded 35.9 percent.


Variety show “It’s Showtime,” is still the most watched noontime show in the country with a national TV rating of 32.5% on weekdays and 29% on Saturdays, against its rival “Eat Bulaga” which only got 30% on weekdays and 24.2% on Saturdays.

Other ABS-CBN programs that made it to August’s top 18 were 
La Luna Sangre, A Love to Last, Tonight with Boy Abunda, Bandila, Ikaw Lang ang Iibigin, Pusong Ligaw, The Better Half, “Ipaglaban Mo, TV Patrol, Wansapanataym, Maalaala Mo Kaya, Rated K, Gandang Gabi Vice, Wildflower, “Bet on Your Baby, “TV Patrol Weekend, Home Sweetie Home, and Goin’ Bulilit.
