GMA Network still ahead in nationwide TV ratings

Media giant GMA Network maintained its nationwide ratings advantage based on the latest data from Nielsen TV Audience Measurement, the industry’s widely-trusted ratings service provider.

For the full month of April (with April 22 to 30 based on overnight data), GMA registered an average of 39.7 percent total day people audience share in the National Urban Television Audience Measurement (NUTAM), ahead of ABS-CBN’s 38.6 percent.

The Network continued to dominate NUTAM’s morning block with a people audience share of 37.9 percent beating ABS-CBN’s 33.4 percent. GMA likewise led in the afternoon block with 41.6 percent as against its rival’s 37.8 percent.

GMA, meanwhile, reigned supreme across all day parts in the viewer-rich areas of Urban Luzon and Mega Manila, which respectively account for 72 and 59 percent of all urban viewers in the country.

The Kapuso Network maintained a double-digit margin in Urban Luzon with an average total day people audience share of 44.2 percent versus competition’s 33.2 percent.

Likewise in Mega Manila (with official data from April 1 to 21), GMA was clearly ahead of the competition with 45.8 percent total day people audience share, while ABS-CBN only managed to get 30.5 percent.

Kapuso shows also took majority of the spots in NUTAM’s list of top-rating programs with "Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho" (KMJS) as the most watched GMA program last month.

Following "KMJS" were "Kambal, Karibal", "Magpakailanman", "Pepito Manaloto", and "24 Oras".

Newly-launched primetime series "The Cure" immediately made it to the top 30 list joining "Sherlock Jr.", "The One That Got Away", "Bubble Gang", "Saksi", "Lip Sync Battle Philippines", "24 Oras Weekend", "Daig Kayo ng Lola Ko", "Eat Bulaga", "Contessa", "Imbestigador", "Wowowin", and "The Stepdaughters".

GMA also dominated the Urban Luzon and Mega Manila lists, claiming 20 spots out of the top 30 programs in both areas.

Further, GMA’s flagship AM radio station Super Radyo DZBB was also hailed as the listeners’ number one choice in Mega Manila proving GMA’s dominance both in TV and radio.

Based on the most recent data from Nielsen Radio Audience Measurement. April ratings data show DZBB posting a total week average audience share of 34.3 percent, winning over DZMM’s 29.5 percent and DZRH’s 14.2 percent.

From Monday to Friday, DZBB’s ratings dominance was driven by its topnotch delivery of news and fearless commentaries through “Saksi sa Dobol B” anchored by Mike Enriquez; “Sino?” with Mike, Arnold Clavio, and Ali Sotto; “Super Balita sa Umaga Nationwide” with Mike and Joel Reyes Zobel; and “Dobol B Balitang-Balita” anchored by Melo del Prado.

Radio GMA’s flagship FM station Barangay LS 97.1 was hailed as the number one choice of listeners in Mega Manila according to the latest survey of Nielsen Radio Audience Measurement.


Barangay LS captivated the hearts of more listeners in Mega Manila for the month of May with an average audience share of 32.6 percent, which was driven by its variety of programs and wacky bunch of DJs.

Meanwhile, viewers can now enjoy a more colorful, more vibrant, and clearer viewing experience as GMA Network’s digital TV signal now covers all parts of Metro Manila as well as nearby provinces of Cavite, Laguna, Rizal, Bulacan, Bataan, Nueva Ecija, and Pampanga.
