Kantar Media is a leading television (TV) audience measurement provider in the Philippines with capabilities in gathering TV viewing data in both digital and analog platforms. It has a total of 6.315 million homes in rural areas across the Philippines (North Luzon, Central Luzon, South Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao) and 8.820 million homes in urban areas (Metro and Mega Manila, Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao), bringing the total TV universe to 15.135 million homes nationwide. Kantar Media uses a nationwide panel size of 2,609 urban and rural homes, more than AGB Nielsen’s 1,980 homes that are only based in urban areas. Kantar Media’s audience panel covers and represents 100% of the total Philippine TV viewing population while AGB Nielsen reportedly represents only 57% of the Philippine TV viewing population. That makes Kantar Media more reliable audience measurement provider in the Philippines.
