“It’s Showtime” registered high TV ratings yesterday (Jan 28) when it recorded a national TV rating of 12.3% across urban and rural homes in the country, based on data from Kantar Media.

It beat TV5’s new program “Wowowillie,” which only got 6.5% and suffered a three-point drop from the 9.1% TV rating of its pilot telecast last Saturday (Jan 26). The fans of “It’s Showtime,” meanwhile, remained glued to the Kapamilya noontime show because it got a national TV rating of 12.1% last Saturday. “It’s Showtime’s” new offerings include the celebrity edition of “Bida Kapamilya” featuring the famous celebrity families, “Kalokalike,” a search for people who can best imitate their popular showbiz idols based on appearance, behavior, and performance, and “Makina Matibay,” where a group of people competes with a machine to determine which of them does better certain mechanical tasks such as scraping coconuts and crushing ice.
