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.

From January to December 2013, ABS-CBN beat all other networks across all time blocks and even swept all 15 slots in the list of top 15 most watched programs last year.

The Kapamilya network remained undefeated in primetime (6PM-12MN) with an average audience share of 47%, or a whopping 16-point lead over GMA’s 31%. 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.

ABS-CBN also led the morning (6AM-12MN) block with an average audience share of 37% vs GMA’s 33%, while the network hit 40% audience share in the early afternoon block (12NN-3PM) vs GMA’s 36%. The late afternoon (3PM-6PM) block scored no exception as the Kapamilya Network ruled with 38% as compared to GMA’s 33%.

When it comes to the country’s top 15 most watched programs, ABS-CBN ruled the list with its original Pinoy superhero “Juan dela Cruz” leading the pack with an average national TV rating of 34.7%. It was followed by “Ina Kapatid Anak” (33.4%), “Princess and I” (31.1%), “Maalaala Mo Kaya” (30.7%), Wansapanataym (29.7%), and “Honesto” (28.3%).

“TV Patrol” remained as the viewers’ top choice for newscasts with an average national TV rating of 27.7%, or a ten point lead against GMA’s “24 Oras” (17.1%).

Also included in the top 15 list from January to December 2013 were “Got To Believe” (27.6%), “Aryana” (26.6%), “Muling Buksan Ang Puso” (26.1%), “Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala” (25.9%), “Pilipinas Got Talent” (25.4%), “Bet On Your Baby” (25.3%), “The Voice of the Philippines” (25.1%), and “Be Careful With My Heart” (22.9%).

On December 2013 alone, ABS-CBN again ended the year with a bang by maintaining its monthly leadership over rival TV stations garnering an average audience share of 43%, or 10 points higher than GMA’s 33%.

    malaking weh

  2. Congratz kapamilya!!! true naman talaga, kasama sa visayas at mindanao pati na rito sa ibang bansa walang tatalo sa ABS CBN!!!

  3. PUSO ANG UNA. Hahaha hindi ma-claim ng GME na no.1 cla sa survey at walang maipakita sa tv kaya dinaan na lang nila sa mapanlinlang na mensahe :p

  4. At least ang kantar consistent, ang agb kelan ba huling naglabas ng data na kompleto? And speaking of credibility, sino ba ang may current cases of manipulation here in the phil and in other countries? Ito pa, magkaiba ang data na pibapalabas ng TV5 at GMA na parehong subscriber ng AGB. Pareho silang panalo sa ratings game DAW! Hahaha. At akala naman nila maloloko nila mga advertisers. Kaya kahit mas mahal ang ad rates ng ABS mas marami pa rin ang commercial loads na pinapalabas sa kapamilya channel. Kaya BOBO at TANGA lang ang maniniwala sa AGB!

  5. d n need pagtalunan yan s mga commercial p lng puro abs artist ang marami, lalo na sa mga pelikula. kung tlgang malakas gma e d sna marami din cla ginagawang pelikula pra sa mga artist nila.
