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.
The Kapamilya network also continued to rule in key territories, including Balance Luzon (all areas in Luzon outside Mega Manila), where it registered an average audience share of 45% vs GMA’s 36%. ABS-CBN even beat GMA both with a 35-point lead in Visayas (58%) and Mindanao (57%), leaving the Kapuso network behind with only 23% and 22% respectively.
With ABS-CBN’s strong line-up of teleseryes, the network maintained its primetime (6PM-12MN) supremacy with 48% last January, or a solid 16-point lead against GMA’s 32%.
The primetime block is 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 effectively.
