The battle for audience share continues as GMA 7 and ABS-CBN introduced new programs and new stars. The most interesting point to consider is the controversy over Angel Locsin's transfer to ABS-CBN and will it cause significant changes in tv ratings specially for this month? Napilayan nga ba ang GMA 7 sa ratings after Angel Locsin transfered to ABS-CBN? Let's find out. Showbiz Central VS The Buzz On August 12, The Buzz aired the first ever interview of Angel Locsin after the actress arrived from London and signed a two-year exclusive contract with ABS-CBN. Tinapatan ito ng isang tv-special ng GMA introducing their newest stars via Showbiz Central. The Buzz registered a remarkable 19.2% against Showbiz Central's 10.4%. The week before (Aug. 5), maliit lang ang lamang ng The Buzz, 12.4% against SC's 10.5%. Although walang significant change sa ratings ng Showbiz Central, meaning they didn't lose significant amount of viewers, The Buzz on the other hand has gained 6.8% of viewers which is a strong indication na marami talagang nahatak ang kontrobesiya tungkol kay Angel Locsin.

That’s My Doc VS Ful Haus

ABS-CBN introduced a new comedy sitcom entitled “That’s My Doc” starring Aga Muhlach on July 29, 2007 (Sunday) para ipantapat sa Daddy Di Do Du ni Vic Sotto. The premiere episode of That’s My Doc was only able to match Daddy Di Do Du’s rating – parehong 14.8%!

After a week, GMA reformatted Vic Sotto’s Daddy Di Do Du to Ful Haus starring Bosing’s real life GF Pia Guanio. And the result? Tinambakan ng Ful Haus ang bagong show na That’s My Doc with 6.3% difference. Fulhaus registered 18.3% while That’s My Doc registered a lower rating of 12% (more than 2% lower than their premiere).

Marimar Awwww!

Last August 13 is the series premiere of the much-anticipated local version of Marimar and 13 proved to be a lucky day for Marian Rivera, “GMA’s next big star”, as Marimar received 36.6%, the highest rating of the day, against Deal of No Deal’s 26.5%. Marimar maintained a 9-10% lead over Deal or No Deal on Tuesday-34%; Wednesday-36.9; and Thursday-34.9%. I think it’s also safe to assume that Marimar is the program who received the highest viewership for the whole week. But can they maintain the momentum this week?

Reality Competitions Still Reign

Reality shows still served as viewers-magnet as the premiere episodes of Be Bench: The Model Search, Ride to Fame: Yes to Your Dreams, U Can Dance and Celebrity Duets all topped their time blocks. But U Can Dance started to lose some grounds when GMA 7 put Nuts Entertainment on Saturday nights starting July 28. And last Aug. 11, Nuts Entertainment totally trampled U Can Dance with 14.4% : 9.7% respectively.

GMA Strongholds

The following GMA shows remain unbeaten:

1. Sis – still unbeaten kahit pinagsanib na ang pwersa nina Boy Abunda at Kris Aquino sa Boy and Kris.
2. Lupin – still unbeaten even though final week na niya.
3. 24 Oras – still enjoying a 4-6% edge over TV Patrol
4. Meteor Garden – still unbeaten kahit itinapat si Wendy Valdez
5. Impostora
6. Jumong – still the no. 1 asianovela
7. Bitoy’s Funniest Videos
8. Kapuso Mo Jessica Soho
9. Imbestigador
10. Mel and Joey

The Battle of Showbiz Oriented Shows

With ABS CBN’s newest showbiz-oriented show hosted by Bianca Gonzales, Mariel Rodriguez and Toni Gonzaga on the block on Saturday afternoons, i thought GMA’s Startalk will start to decline. The premiere episode of Entertainment Live! two Saturdays ago registered 15.5% against Startalk’s 13.7%. But last Saturday, August 11, Startalk trampled Entertainment Live! with 19.6% ratings against 11% of the latter. Tignan natin kung nakabawi pa ang Entertainment Live! last August 18 dahil kung hindi, baka maagang ma-reformat ang bagong showbiz talk show. Showbiz Central, on the other hand, is no match against The Buzz.

Kokey is Now Leading

And by the way, Last Wednesday and Thursday, naungusan ng Kokey ang Mga Mata ni Anghelita. But will it continue?

Next month, Angel Locsin’s first tv program with ABS CBN co-starring her with Piolo Pascual will start airing. Dun pa lang natin talaga malalaman kung sulit nga ba ang pagkuha ng ABS CBN sa kanya. For now, it’s safe to assume na may mga nagawa na si Angel Locsin upang pag-ibayuhin ang mga programa ng ABS CBN. Ang ebidensya – ang pagtaas ng ratings ng The Buzz specially the episode showcasing her very first interview bilang kapamilya.
