FAMILY FEUD MAG PAPAALAM NA? PILOT EPISODES NG SISID AT PLAYFUL KISS TINUTUKAN!

Naging matagumpay  ang mga Pilot Episodes ng mga bagong programa ng GMA na Playful Kiss at Sisid. Naging trending topic ang mga ito sa social networking site na Twitter habang umani naman ito ng papuri sa mga Fan Pages sa Facebook.  Magkasunod ang Playful Kiss at Sisid na katapat ang dalawang foreign dubbed tv series na Frijolito at MY GF is a Gumiho sa ABS-CBN. 

(UPDATED) TV RATINGS NG AMAYA, PLAYFUL KISS AT SISID LUMABAS NA!

AD LOADS NG AMAYA KAPANTAY LANG NG MACHETE! PILOT EPISODE TINUTUKAN MO BA?

Mukhang hindi naging ganun kalakas ang reception ng AMAYA sa mga advertisers. Sa isang oras kasing airtime nito sa Pilot Episode halos pareho lang ang ad minutes nito sa regular ad loads ng Machete. Umabot lamang sa 16 minutes 45 seconds ang ad minutes ng Amaya sa 5 gaps, halos pantay lang sa 16-17 regular ad minutes ng Machete at Dwarfina. Nabigo itong mapantayan ang dating 20 ad minutes ng Survivor Phils noong nakaraang taon sa peak season nito.

Ang Unilever Phils ang may pinakamaraming ad minutes na nilagay sa AMAYA.Umabot sa 3 mins 40 secs ang nilagay nitong ads sa bagong palabas ng GMA, na sinundan ng Procter and Gamble na may 2 ad minutes. Kung susumahin isa sa bawat tatlong ads o halos 33% ng mga advertisements sa AMAYA ay galing sa Unilever at P & G.

IT'S OFFICIAL: ABS-CBN IS "AGAIN" THE PHILIPPINES' NO.1 NETWORK!

As gestured by the figures released by the global TV ratings provider Kantar Media Research, ABS-CBN is undoubtedly back as the Nationwide leading TV Network! 

According to KMR's figures, Showtime, NBA Playoffs, Summer Power and the PRIME TIME Bida line-up made up most of the channel's advantage in the National battle. ABS-CBN's audience shares on the mentioned time slots improved bannered by the leading Trio, 100 days to Heaven, MLKI and Mara Clara! Channel 2 cornered a whooping 14.5% household ratings for the period May 24-26, besting GMA's accumulated all-day rating of  only 12.1%. This figure is convertible to a 36.6% vs 30.4% on Fixed Relative Audience Share (FRAS) in favor of the Kapamilya Network.

SISID AT PLAYFUL KISS DIDIKTA SA KAPALARAN NG DRAMARAMA! MAGWAWAGI KAYA?

Magsisimula na rin mamayang Hapon ang dalawang bagong serye sa GMA na Sisid at Playful Kiss. Sisid ang pumalit sa My lover My wife na katapat ng Frijolito, habang ang Playful Kiss naman ang humalili sa TOW na katapat naman ng My Girlfriend is Gumiho. Inaasahang mananaig ang Sisid laban sa Frijolito sa parehong Mega Manila at National survey, ngunit inaasahan namang magwawagi ang My GF is a Gumiho laban sa Playful Kiss gaya ng naganap sa Korea.

BIGGEST LOSER MAMAYA NA! SECRET GARDEN MAPAPATUMBA BA?

Magsisimula na mamaya ang Biggest Loser Pinoy Edition kasama ang nag iisang Mega Star Ms. Sharon Cuneta! Excited na ang mga kapamilya sa bagong reality show ng ABS-CBN kasama ang Kapamilya hunk na si Derek Ramsy. Siguradong tatangkilikin ito hindi lamang ng mga tagapagsubaybay ng Dos kundi pati ng mga advertisers. Karaniwang tinatangkilik ng mga advertisers ang mga reality programs kahit hindi ganun ka taas ang ratings, kaya naman hindi nagsasawa ang GMA-7, TV5 at ABS-CBN sa pag produce ng mga reality programs sa kabila ang mahal nitong mga franchises. Ngyong taon nakatakda ring umere ang Survivor, I Dare you, X-factor, Pinoy Big Brother, Pinoy Home Make Over, etc.

NBA PLAYOFFS TIPS THE BALANCE IN THE RATINGS GAME IN FAVOR OF ABS-CBN!

Remarkable changes occur in the ratings game every time ABS-CBN telecasts the Live NBA Semi-finals Games! The special coverage tips  the balance of the numbers game in favor of the Media Giant, increasing its lead in NUTAM at an unbelievable scale!

Data from Kantar Media's National Household. survey indicates that during NBA Playoffs, ABS-CBN's Early Morning ratings increases by as much as 80% or almost double its usual morning audience. Last Wednesday May 25, an NBA Game day, channel 2's early morning ratings jumped from 5.2% to 9.5% translating to a Fixed Relative Audience Share of 36.3%. But the following day, when regular programmings resume, numbers fell again from 9.5% to 6%.

On a usual day, GMA-7 wins the 6:00 am - 10:00 am block with its formidable anime line-ups, but during NBA Live Coverage days, ABS-CBN snatches this lead remarkably. Last Wednesday ABS-CBN managed  to grip a Total Day FRAS of 37.9% versus GMA-7's 29.1% thanks to the NBA Games and its unchallenged Prime time Bida!

AMAYA, MINSAN LANG KITA IIBIGIN ANG PINILING KALABAN!

Sa pagsisimula ng AMAYA, ang Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin ang napili nitong banggain! Inaasahan sana ng marami na Mara Clara ang makakatapat nito ngunit mukhang sa unang araw lang ito mangyayari dahil sa isang oras na airtime nito sa premiere episode. Sa kasalukuyan ang 100 days to Heaven ang pinakamalakas na programa ng ABS-CBN ngayon na sinusundan ng Mara Clara at pangatlo ang MLKI. Mas magiging exciting sana kung magtatapat ang 2 alas ng 2 istasyon para magkaalaman na!

Ngunit kung iisipin strategical na ilagay ang AMAYA pagkatapos ng Captain Barbel upang matulungang umangat ang ratings nito na ngayo'y bagsak dahil sa lakas ng 100 days to Heaven.

ANC, HERO TV, MYX, CGETV AND KNOWLEDGE CHANNEL TO GO FREE-TO-AIR WITH DTV?

It seems like people are getting too much excited for the future of Philippine television a few months away from now. ABS-CBN, on its road to digital TV, is very prepared for the comeback of its launch, back in 2007. Today, they’re much ready to deploy its DTT service nationwide after almost five years of preparation, planning and organization of ideas to make the transition to digital television go faster than expected.

For now, the media conglomerate just awaits the NTC’s rules and regulation for digital TV broadcast standard, whether they go for the chosen one, or choose another new standard, but as soon as possible, ABS-CBN can implement, as we’ve said earlier, which of which standard, either of the two being reviewed by the governing body.

DINGDONG DANTES AT ALJUR ABRENICA PAGSASAMAHIN NG GMA?

May balitang kumakalat ngayon na pagsasamahin ng GMA-7 sa isang telebabad program ang dalawang malalaking Leading Man nila na sina Dingdong Dantes at Aljur Abrenica! Isa umano itong hakbang upang manumbalik ang lakas ng GMA Telebabad na ngayo'y namimiligro na dahil sa hindi gaanong mataas na ratings sa Mega Manila. Sa isang bible-based story diumano iikot ang istorya ng magiging project nila, na kung matutuloy ay magiging kauna-unahang murder history-based TV series! Una nang naging laman ng balita sina Aljur at Dingdong dahil sa bagong Hotdog commercial ni Aljur na pilit inihahambing kay Dingdong Dantes.

IN THE NAME OF LOVE RAKES ALMOST P 90-M IN JUST 12 DAYS!

Umabot na sa P89.8 million ang gross-to-date sales ng In the Name of Love ng Star Cinema! Umabot sa  P28.3 million ang weekend gross nito ayon sa Box Office Mojo noong May 18-22. Ibig sabihin nakaka P5-6 million per day ang In the Name of Love na maaaring mas malaki pa dahil limitado lang ang monitoring ng Box Office Mojo! Sa kasalukuyan no.2 na ito sa highest grossing film so far sa taong ito with Catch Me I'm In Love bilang no.1. Kamakailan lang ay napabilang ang In the Name of Love sa Top 15 top grossing films sa buong mundo. Kung magtuloy-tuloy ang success ng pelikula, ito ang magiging highest grossing film ni Angel Locsin.

NOLI DE CASTRO NAGIGING NEGA NA SA T V PATROL?

Mukhang hirap nang bumalik ang popularidad ni Noli De Castro pagkatapos nitong sumalang sa Pulitika. Sa kanyang pagbalik sa telebisyon, sa halip na tumaas ay mas bumaba pa ang ratings ng TVP noon na tinalo pa ng Willing Willie sa TV5. Ayon sa ilang taga subay-bay ng TV Patrol tila nag iba na ang dating hinahangaang TV broadcaster, na ngayoy inuulan ng batikos sa kanyang subjective na mga hirit sa mga isyu. May halong yabang na rin ang kanyang pag iinterbyu lalo na sa mga personalidad na may koneksyon sa gobyerno. Tila nawala na rin ang charisma ni Kabayan Noli sa Pagrereport na ngayo'y madalas sumablay sa kanyang mga linya. 

MARIA LA DEL BARRIO AT NASAAN KA ELISA ANU NA ANG NANGYARI?

Lubha nang nadidismaya ang mga Kapamilya Gold fans dahil sa sobrang delayed na schedule airing ng Maria La del Barrio, Nasaan Ka Elisa at Hiyas. Ang balita kasi, masyadong mahal ang mga franchises ng Maria La Del Barrio at Nasaan Ka Elisa kaya naman hesitant ang management na ilagay sa afternoon slots ang mga ito. Gusto rin kasi ng ABS-CBN na kontrolin ang lumulobong operating expenses nila dahil sa dami ng mga in-house produced series na dahilan ng mataas ng Production Expenses ng kumpanya. Bulung bulungan ngayon na hihintayin munang matapos ang Mula sa Puso bago ilabas ang Maria La Del Barrio upang punan ang time slot nito. Later this quarter din ang airing ng Hiyas at Nasaan Ka Elisa ngunit wala pang fixed time slots.

GMA-7 40% ANG TARGET SA "AMAYA"! PERO SA PAPARATING NA BAGYO, MAKAKAYA PA KAYA?

Milyones talaga ang ibinuhos ng Kapuso Network sa epic serye na ito, kaya nakakaloka ang balita na dapat hindi bumaba sa 40% ang ratings na makukuha nila sa pilot episode.

Ginawa kasi ng GMA Network ang todo sa pa plug ng amaya mapa website, tabloid,magaz...ine,tv, mall show,at sa lahat ng social networking site.

IS ROUNIN THE FIRST EPIC SERIES AND NOT AMAYA?

According to an Ilo-ilo based commentator, GMA-7's epic series, "AMAYA" is not the the very first tv series of its kind but ABS-CBN's 2007 most expensive TV program, ROUNIN! Tim Libunao argued that GMA should refrain from marketing AMAYA as the first ever Epec Series because it is a false truth. He further explained the following published on Facebook:

DOES GMA NETWORK WANTS NTC TO DELAY THE IRR FOR DTV??

MANILA, Philippines - GMA Network is urging the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) to carefully consider what digital television transmission technology to adopt and when to require its adoption by local broadcasting companies due to the far-reaching repercussions of a bad choice.
