GMA-7 and GMA News TV are Highest Rating Networks for Royal Wedding Coverage

Posted on May 3, 2011 by GMA-7 // 33 Comments

The Philippines has no royal family, but a wedding is a wedding and Filipinos, romantics at heart, will skip their usual TV fare to watch a royal couple say ‘I do.’

The proof? Over 4 million Filipinos in Mega Manila alone were tuned in yesterday to the British Royal Wedding of Prince William of Wales to commoner Catherine Middleton, based on AGB Nielsen overnight ratings.

And after weeks of heavy Royal Wedding promotions from practically all the TV networks, two ratings winners emerged.

From 5 to 8 in the evening—the royal caravan towards Westminster Abbey to the bride’s breathtaking reveal in her Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen dress, throughout the wedding ceremony proper, and till the couple’s joyful carriage ride as husband and wife—GMA-7 and GMA News TV Channel 11 were the no. 1 and no. 2 networks in terms of ratings, based on AGB Nielsen data for Mega Manila.

GMA-7 hit 30.7 household shares for this time band. GMA News TV, just a two-month old news and documentary channel, followed GMA-7, with 22 household shares for the same period.

GMA News TV was the first free TV Channel to broadcast the wedding live, starting as early as 3 pm with its Royal Wedding: March to the Altar coverage, after first breaking the biggest news of the day: Merceditas’ Gutierrez announcement of her resignation as Ombudsman.

Normally the fourth-ranking free TV network, GMA News TV saw its ratings climb to a historic high on the Royal Wedding day, at a certain point leading all the free TV networks in ratings.
 By 6 pm, GMA-7 ratings picked up with GMA’s special coverage of the same event, becoming the leader for the rest of the evening.

GMA News and Public Affairs has been preparing for its combined coverage for months, sending top anchors Jessica Soho, Vicky Morales and Connie Sison to London for first-hand reports on the royal festivities. GMA-7 and GMA News TV’s no. 1 and 2 ratings prove, once again, that GMA News and Public Affairs is the Filipinos’ most trusted source of news and information.

    TALAGA NAMAN! nong nasa dos ang Eat Bulaga, LAKAS NILA. Nang iniwan, kung anu-ano ang ipinalit, lahat nagsara. Sa GMA, hanggang ngayon, Eat Bulaga pa rin. Ipinanlaban si wawawee, WAWAWA, iniwan din. Kaya kung ano meron sa 7, nagkaka.meron din sila. gaya-gaya lang, di ba? KAYA NAMAN WALANG PANAMA! Kung gusto nyo ring maging sikat, mag.KAPUSO na kayo! kasi lahat kaming mga Ka.PUSO ay SIKAT! lIPAT NA, KAPUSO!

  19. kitkit // May 3, 2011 at 5:55 am //

    bakit puro AGB lng ang binabandera ng GMA…ah kasi sa sinehan, di na nila ma impluwensyahan, kaya yun, hanggang megamanila lng at AGB ang kaya nilang ipagpayabang

  20. kitkit // May 3, 2011 at 5:53 am //

    bakit ang acronym at letters na GMA ay ma anomaliya?

  21. flo // May 3, 2011 at 5:21 am //

  22. kitkit // May 3, 2011 at 5:11 am //

    marami namang hindi naniniwala sa mga tv ratings na yan, in the first place, hindi equated ang variables, ang signal ng ABS sa mega manila ay malabo; may mga noodles, sardines, payong, baso, stickers at iba pa na pinamudmud ng GMA, paano ba yan, 1000 humigit kumulang ang respondents, naku 90 million na ang population ng pinas noh

  23. TFC-KUWAIT // May 3, 2011 at 2:55 am //

    4 million compare mo sa 86 million viewers ng ABS CBN…

    truly and undisputed leader…

    ABS CBN NUMERO UNO SA BUONG PILIPINAS…

    talbog!!!

  24. TFC-KUWAIT // May 3, 2011 at 2:54 am //

    4 million lang? mega manila only..

    eh over 90 million ang pupulation ng buong pilipinas..

    kaya pala numero uno ang ABS CBN NATIONWIDE, hawak pala nila ang 86 million viewers..

    Bitter mga kapamilya. Excuse me, hindi perpekto ang station niyo kaya hindi lahat mapupunta sa inyo. Grabe kau.. Ganyan pala mga kapamilya fans. Un disciplined.

  29. Aivhan // May 3, 2011 at 12:51 am //

    Hindi naman kami bubuhayin ng Telenovelas at Entertainment shows. We Want PUBLIC AFFAIRS. Magugunaw na lang ang mundo ano pipiliin mo sa panahon ng sakuna? Manuod ng Mara Clara? O manuod ng Balita. That’s how should people think on how importance public affairs. Kaya kung may achievements man na dapat makuha ng isang station yun ay ang PUBLIC AFFAIRS.

  30. dexter // May 3, 2011 at 12:50 am //

    guys we need to accept the reality if gma got the highest rating……….d nmn tataas ang rating kung d maganda ang coverage or movie nila sabi nga nila pag ang isang bagay umaangat may mga surot at salot na maninira at maiinggit makapanira lang tawag sakilna desperado at desperada….

  31. SARDINAS, NOODLES GALING KAY GOZON // May 3, 2011 at 12:47 am //

    MANIPULATED….

  32. carlo // May 3, 2011 at 12:37 am //

    Kawawang GMA-7…sa ratings na lang ng AGB sila nagsusurvive, and yet hindi naman nagrereflect sa box-office results ng movies nila, record sales, and product endorsements…And worse is, sa Manila na lang sila umaasa, not to the viewing public nationwide, which is obviously a desperate move of a dying station….Level up the quality of your shows and people’s perception about your station might change…

  33. kkkoo // May 3, 2011 at 12:30 am //

    Serbisyong totoo talaga. 🙂
