In the continuing celebration of the 60 years of Pinoy soap opera, ABS-CBN is bringing back on television one of the longest-running and highly successful drama series of the 90’s.  The Kapamilya network is set to begin production of the remake of Mara Clara, the well loved drama that catapulted Judy Ann Santos and Gladys Reyes to stardom.  From 1992 to 1997, viewers religiously followed the clash of Judy Ann and Gladys characters’ --- the kind and humble Mara versus the scheming and vengeful Clara.

KAPAMILYA DEAL OR NO DEAL TEASER RELEASED!

After the confirmation of leaving Pilipinas Win na Win, Kapamilya Titan Kris Aquino is now excited to be back in hosting as Kapamilya Deal or No deal returns in Philippine Television.

Will the return of this game show finally bring victory to the Kapamilyas? WE'll see!

TNS/KANTAR MEGA MANILA & NATIONAL WEEKEND RATINGS!

Citing Kantar Media's household survey, it seems that the Kapamilya Network is in need of a serious change to prevent Kapuso programs from dominating the National and Mega Manila tv viewing. Last weekend September 25 & 26, 2010, 6 out of the top 10 all day programs from the National Urban came from GMA Network, while 8 of the 10 top programs in Mega Manila were kapuso programs. This is very alarming for the Kapamilya Network for in more than 5 years dominated the National Surveys. Now slowly the rival network is in a  close chase in the numbers game as they slowly dominate the Weekend rankings. This should serve as a wake-up call for ABS-CBN to work on thier wilted programs and refrain from being too confident in their place as the National Leader.

SPOTLIGHT: PEOPLE RATINGS ISSUE CLARIFIED! EXCLUSSIVE ON NETWORKWAR!

Reading the comments/discussions from our recent articles, tvnetworkwar finds it relevant to give light to the issue about People's ratings as released by survey firm AGB Neilsen.

Contrary to the belief of many, AGB's People Ratings has been used by the survey firm as a measure of TV Viewership as early as the year 2007. As a matter of fact GMA-7 has been including this report from AGB on some of their press releases, however it was not at largely noticed by the public for it provides less meaning to the viewers.

Moreover AGB Nielsen's TV viewing People surveys are not only done in Mega Manila but also in National level as reported by GMA-7 in 2008, but the regular press releases in Pep.ph and some tabloids only gives emphasis to the Mega Manila figures as a tradition. Also AGB Nielsen still conducts its National and Mega Manila Household Ratings.

In addition People Ratings is not unique in the Philippines for in other first world countries Nielsen Media actually use this measure more as a basis for advertising  than the household ratings. In fact in  the U.S ratings are based on the number of viewers rather than on the number of household viewing a particular program.

GMA executives even highlighted this issue in one of their interviews pointing out that the very reason for the release of People's ratings is the mere fact that it provides more meaning and value to the advertisers. However in the Philippines the popularity and reliability of People's Ratings has not been stabilized because of its methodological  issues.

IDOL DINAGSA NG BATIKOS! ABS-CBN PRIMETIME BIDA SUMASAMA NA ANG KONDISYON!

Hindi naging maganda ang feedback ng  mga manonood sa pinakabagong offer ng ABS-CBN sa primetime na IDOL. Kung anong excitement ang naramdaman ng mga nag-aabang sa  programa ay siya namang dismaya ng mga ito sa naging takbo ng istorya ng IDOL. Sa katunayan patuloy ang pagbaba ng rating nito sa national Level mula 30% nung lunes sa 27% nalang ng sumunod na araw, samantalang sa Mega Manila nagumpisa ito ng may 27% rating sa AGB Mega Manila Household ratings at bumaba sa 25% nung sumunod na araw. Talagang problema ang hindi magandang lagay ng IDOL lalo pa't nasa panganib ngayon ang NOAH dahil sa lakas ng pag dating ng Survivor. Naapektuhan na rin ang Magkaribal dahil sa mababang ratings ng IDOL eh lumalapit na ang Endless Love sa Peoples Rating na halos mag tabla na nung Martes na may  10.7% at 10.5%.

IDOL STARTS UNIMPRESSIVELY! BUT MAGKARIBAL CONTINUES WINNING STREAK AGAINST ENDLESS LOVE!

ABS-CBN's newest Drama series staring Sarah Geronimo and Sam Milby did poorly in the national ratings based from data released by TNS Media Research. It debuted 30% in the Naional Urban landing third next to Noah and TV Patrol World, while it settled fourth in Mega Manila along rival from GMA, the witch craft series, ILUMINA making  a 13% peoples' rating. Idol's performance was way below Agua Bendita's average national household ratings of about 35%, but its post primetime line-ups Magkaribal and Kristine is doing a lot better wiining straight against rivals from the Kapuso Network. Magkaribal has been rating quite better since it was pitted against Marian's Endless Love even winning the competition in Mega Manila. Kristine on the other hand continues to enjoy an overwhelming victory against East of EDEN which from the very beginning has been suffering from low ratings. 

Is IDOL's early broadcast a wrong move for the Kapamilya Network? Would it be bettter if they released IMORTAL instead? what do you think?

ABS-CBN SINAWAY SI ANDI SA KAKANOOD NG SURVIVOR! IDOL MAKAKAYA KAYANG MAGING NO.1?!

Napapabalitang pinagsabihan ng Kapamilya Network si Andi Eigenmann dahil sa lantaran nitong pagkukuwento sa kanyang twitter account na nanonood siya ng Survivor Philippines : Celebrity Showdown ng GMA 7 na halos may ilang minutong nakasabay ng programa niyang Agua Bendita sa ABS-CBN. Nitong nakaraang mga araw kasi panay ang pag twit ng dalaga na  Type na type si Solenn Heussaff na isa sa mga kalahok ng nasabing programa.Bakit nga ba parang patay na patay si Andi kay Solenn eh ang ganda-ganda rin naman niya.

Samantala naging matagumpay ang pagwaawakas ng AGUA BENDITA na siguradong numero uno nung Biyernes ng Gabi. Sa lunes, ang Glee inspired serye ng nagiisang Pop Princess ang papalit sa timeslot ng Agua at babangga sa ILUMINA ng GMA. Makaya kayang maagaw ng IDOL ang trono sa Mega Manila mula sa Survivor? AbangaN!

PILIPINAS WIN NA WIN MAMAMAALAM NA BA SA ERE? WILLIE NAKA SCORE!

Malaking sampal sa mukha ng ABS-CBN  kung mawawala na agad sa ere ang pinang palit nila sa Wowowee na Pilipinas, Win na Win, but with the way the numbers are doing for the noontime program it seems that it is already unhealthy for the company to continue running the unpopular show. According to sources, saying that aside from its failing ratings, the hosts are taking different projects in the network, so the possiblity that the program will be axed is almost certain.

Meanwhile in the National level NOAH remains unfazed with Survivor's arrival in the competition as it maintains its no.1 spot in the evening rankings closely followed by Agua Bendita and TV Patrol World. Survivor Phils landed fourth beating Magkaribal Nationwide. This is an achievement for the kapuso network as GMA evening programs rarely makes it on Top 5.
