GMA-7 Tops Mega Manila and National TV Ratings for the Month of April According to Nielsen’s Data

GMA-7 continued to win in nationwide ratings for the month of April, based on data from broadcast industry’s recognized ratings service provider Nielsen TV Audience Measurement.

GMA improved its total day household audience share this April relative to March across all areas. Audience share of its closest rival ABS-CBN, meanwhile, followed an opposite trend.

Based on full April ratings data (April 1 to 21 data and April 22 to 30 overnight data), GMA posted an average total day household audience share of 35.5 points in National Urban Television Audience Measurement (NUTAM), ahead of ABS-CBN’s 29.4 points by 6.1 points and of TV5’s 15 points by 20.5 points.

Using an estimate of five viewers per household, GMA’s margins translate to more than one million viewers over ABS-CBN and almost 3.6 million viewers over TV5 nationwide.

In Total Urban Luzon, which comprises 77 percent of total urban television households nationwide, GMA recorded double-digit margins over its competitors for the said period. GMA registered 39.2 household audience share points, 13.8 points ahead of ABS-CBN’s 25.4 points and 24.8 points ahead of TV5’s 14.4.

Converted to viewers, GMA had an over 1.8 million and over 3.3 million viewer advantage over ABS-CBN and TV5, respectively, in the said area.

In its bailiwick Mega Manila, which makes up 59 percent of total urban television households nationwide, GMA hit 40.3 audience share points, posting double-digit point-wide margins over ABS-CBN’s 24.1 points and TV5’s 15.1 points.

GMA’s margins translate to over 1.7 million and over 2.7 million viewers over ABS-CBN and TV5, respectively.

GMA’s programming also managed six and eight entries in the lists of overall top 10 programs in Total Urban Luzon and Mega Manila, respectively. GMA’s Holy Week slate was also a commendable winner nationwide.

GMA hit P1.7 billion net income in 2011 amid cut backs in the advertising budget of top multinationals in 2011. ABS-CBN, meanwhile, excluding the one-time gain on sale of Sky Cable worth P1.1 billion, managed only P1.3 billion, P400 million short of GMA’s income.

GMA subscribes to the Nielsen TV Audience Measurement along with 21 companies including two other local networks, namely, TV5 and Solar Entertainment; Faulkner Media; CBN Asia; 14 advertising agencies and three regional clients. On the other hand, ABS-CBN is the only local major TV network reportedly subscribing to Kantar Media, formerly known as TNS.

The Nielsen TV Audience Measurement has a sample size of 1,190 homes in Mega Manila versus Kantar Media’s 770 homes. Nielsen also has a nationwide sample size of 2,000 homes compared to the lower sample size of 1,370 utilized by Kantar Media.

    ok please check. kung number one ang GMA7 nationwide bakit hindi kasikatan ang mga artista nila??? Di ba kun well-known or popular ang mga artista niyo it follows mas pinapanood ang network nyo. look at the PBB Teen Edition 4. reality pa lang ya sumasalang na sa kasikatan yung mga bata pero yung matagl nag artists sa GMA not o sikat, Compare the artists of STAR MAGIC to GMA Talent Center. Kaninong mga pool of artists ang sikat, di ba ang sa STAR MAGIC??? Even the production is not in good quality in GMA7… simply just compare the Binibining Pilipinas Pageant production…

    You keep saying that abs-cbn artists have more endorsements than gma artists. The reason being is that MURA ANG TALENT FEE. Why do abs-cbn artists transfer to TV 5? Obviously, because mura din ang talent fee na binibigay ng DOS. To sum it all, kaya waa young karamihan ng artists ng ABS CBN sa top 30 taxpayers in show business kasi binabarat ang mga artists ng abs cbn. Now, would you consider abs cbn a fair network? Masyadong gahaman sa pera ang channel 2 kay a nilalayasan ng mga artista. Gusto nila sila ang yumaman. Samantalang ang mga artista, director, writers at iba pang production staff ang talagang napapagod. I think it is fair enough to call ABS CBN the greediest network in the Philipippines. It truly deserves the title. Ha ha ha ha.

  15. GMA IS THE MOST POPULAR T. V. STATION IN THE PHILIPPINES!

  16.  yes! show us some proofs!
    hindi yung galing sa binayaran nyong agb neilsen?!

  17.  sa kasinungalingan # 1 ang gma 7!

  18.  korek! ang kapal talaga ng mga kasuso!

  19.  ang tunay na # 1 ay ang abs-cbn! alam mo kung bakit?

    BLOCKBUSTER MOVIES
    TOP SELLING MUSIC ALBUMS
    HIGHER ADS RATES
    MARAMING AWARDS FROM STUDENTS’ & PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARDS
    TOP ENDORSERS ANG MGA STARS
    TOP TAX PAYERS
    ETC.,ETC…
