PILIPINAS WIN NA WIN MOVES TO ANOTHER TIME SLOT! NANAMAN?

Inilipat nanaman sa 2:30 time slot ang mas pinaikling Pilipinas Win na Win upang bigyang daan ang bagong hari ng Kapamilya noontime, ang Showtime! Ito ay marahil isang pagtatangka na maisalba ang naghihingalong noontime line-up ng dos na maging sa National TV Ratings ay nauungusan na ng Eat bulaga. Matatandaan na ilang beses na inilipat ng time slot ang Win na Win, at ilang beses na ring nagkaroon ng pagpalit ng mga hosts nito, ngunit mukhang walang magandang feedback ang mga manonood dahil patuloy ang pangunguna ng kalabang programa.

Ayon sa Corporate Communications head na si Bong Osorio "The changes in programming schedules are in response to the ever-changing needs and demands of our viewers. We aim to serve them the best way we can via new schedules and programs,”

TV NETWORK WAR FINANCIAL ANALYSIS: GMA-7 VS ABS-CBN!

Net Income 

For the third quarter alone ABS-CBN increased its bottom line by 26% to P630M from P500 recorded the same period last year. This is opposite from GMA's 26% drop in net income year-on-year to P583. For the 9-month period the Kapamilya Network netted P2.9B, up by almost  60% from rival's 2.26B. For all three quarters of the year ABS-CBN out matched the Kapuso Network with P1.11B, P1.15B and P0.63B compared to P0.86B, P0.83B and P0.58B  netted by GMA Network.

NOLI DECASTRO BLACK SHEEP SA TV PATROL?

What everyone thought to be TV Patrol's biggest asset surprisingly turned to be its worst  liability as Noli De Castro returns in ABS-CBN's evening newscast with big disappointments. The former Vice President received lots of criticisms for its premiere stint as a leading News Anchor in TV Patrol.  Many observers noticed that the veteran news anchor had lost its appeal and expertise in News Reporting. His political background as the former Vice President also adds to the negativity of the TV Program as the issue of credibility continue to drive viewers away.

To make things worst, the Pag-ibig scandal for which De Castro formerly heads brings more uncertainty and ridicule to TV host and to the TV Network. In fact TV Patrol's performance in the ratings game has been in a down trend since De Castro and Korina took over. Analyst say the demise brought about by the change in TV Patrol  and the increasing popularity of Willing Willie diverts kapamilya viewers to TV 5.

Advertising revenues accounted for 68% of consolidated revenues, while consumer sales accounted for the remaining 32%. Net of non-recurring political advertising revenues, the contribution share of consumer sales would be 35%.
