ABS-CBN CONTINUES TO TOP TV RATINGS NATIONWIDE TV VIEWING IN JULY

ABS-CBN, the country’s leading and largest multimedia conglomerate, remained on top of the ratings game in July with more Filipinos tuning in to its programs with a total day audience share of 42%, eight points higher than rival GMA with only 34%, based on data from Kantar Media that cover urban and rural homes.

Kantar Media uses a nationwide panel size of 2,609 urban and rural homes that represent 100% of the total Philippine TV viewing population, while the other ratings data supplier AGB Nielsen reportedly has only 1,980 homes based solely in urban areas that represent only 57% of the Philippine TV viewing population.

ABS-CBN also kept its stronghold of the primetime block (6PM-12NN) despite GMA’s new offerings, with a recorded audience share of 47%, higher by 14 points than GMA’s 33%. Primetime is the most important timeblock when most Filipinos watch TV and advertisers put a larger chunk of their investment in to reach more consumers efficiently.

Kantar Media’s report also showed that 13 programs in the top 15 in July were produced by ABS-CBN. GMA Network had 5.
