TNS: ABS-CBN is leading network in RP


A national ratings survey done by TNS Media Research showed that ABS-CBN remained the leading network in the country.

From February 1 to 7, 2009, TNS Media’s survey results showed that 43.5 percent of 1,200 households were tuned in to ABS-CBN while its competitor only got more than 36 percent.

TNS Media said viewers from NCR would show an almost even distribution of program preferences for the two leading networks. Suburbs and Central Luzon showed preference to GMA 7, it added.

Majority of viewers from North Luzon, South Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao, on the other hand, showed preference toward ABS CBN, according to TNS Media.

Most-watched shows

In the same survey, Kapamilya television programs also continued to dominate the list of top most-watched shows.

Noontime variety show Wowowee was the top national weekday (morning and afternoon) program.

The top four programs on primetime, meanwhile, were May Bukas Pa, I Love Betty La Fea, TV Patrol World and Tayong Dalawa.

Maalaala Mo Kaya, Flash Bomba, Rated K, Singing Bee, Dragonna, on the other hand, were the top five weekend programs.

“In the total Philippines, ABS is definitely the larger broadcaster on a national scale. And in Mega Manila, there's almost nothing between the two broadcasters,” said Phillip Jones, regional director of TNS-Southeast Asia and Pacific.

Jones added: “We see major jumps in the news coverage. People are turning to television to catch up.”

ABS-CBN, meanwhile, thanked its viewers for their unwavering support. ABS-CBN added that it would continue to offer new shows to the Kapamilya viewers.

“Ni-reconfirm lang ‘yong ating national leadership. Sabi nga ng marami mahirap ang panahon pero hindi naman ibig sabhin nyan eh magpapabaya tayo sa mga programang i-share natin sa kanila,” said Bong Osorio, ABS-CBN Corporate Communications head.
