ABS-CBN, the country’s largest and leading multimedia conglomerate, continued to dominate TV viewing across urban and rural homes nationwide in April with its strong line-up of shows with an average total day audience share of 42% or 12 points higher than GMA’s 30%, based on data from Kantar Media.
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 ruled the hotly contested primetime block (6PM-12MN), with an average national audience share of 46% vs. GMA’s 29%. Primetime is considered the most important part of the day when most Filipinos watch TV and advertisers put a larger chunk of their investment in to reach more consumers efficiently.
Aside from primetime, ABS-CBN’s early afternoon block (12NN-3PM) also strengthened with an average audience share of 41%, a three-point increase from last March’s 38%, while GMA lost a point to 32% from 33%. This was mainly driven by the performance on weekdays by “It’s Showtime,” which gained a national TV rating of 13.7%, beating “Eat Bulaga” (12.4%).
ABS-CBN also remained strong in the morning (6AM-12NN) with an audience share of 37% vs. GMA’s 32%, and in the late afternoon (3PM-6PM) with 36% vs. GMA’s 29%.
Twelve out of the top 15 regular airing programs for April were produced by ABS-CBN.
Superhero drama “Juan Dela Cruz” topped the list with 33.4%, almost 14 points higher than rival program “Indio” which trailed far behind at 18.6%.
ABS-CBN also dominated weekend TV ratings with drama anthology “Maalaala Mo Kaya,” (29.1%) and “Wansapanataym” (27.4%).
“TV Patrol” remained as the most watched newscast and the only newscast to be in the Top 15 list with 24.2%.
April’s biggest gainer was comedy talk show “Gandang Gabi Vice,” penetrating the Top 15 for the first time with a national TV rating of 21%.
“Minute to Win It,” which recently introduced its edition for kids, returned to the Top 15 with 18.6%, while “Be Careful With My Heart,” currently the country’s highest daytime program with a national TV rating of 24.8%, beat newcomer “The Ryzza Mae Show” that only managed 10.4%.
