HELENA'S PROMISE BAGSAK ANG RATINGS PERO PUNO NAMAN NG ADS!

The low budgeted Korean Drama, Helena's Promise, unexpectedly became an instant GOLD MINE for ABS-CBN as it booked a total of 51 ad spots in its premiere last November 14, 2011! This is despite the show's demising debut with only 4 percentage points household ratings in Mega Manila. Helena's Promise became the highest loading Kapamilya Gold program even beating the top rater, Reputasyon (30 ads) and the highly hyped reality program Pinoy Big Brother Unli Day (36 ads)! It also bested other GMA afternoon prime shows Kokak (49 ads), Kung Aagawin mo ang Langit (49 ads) and Kung Ikaw lang ang Mamahalin in terms of product placements.

This frenzy will help boost profitability for ABS-CBN especially that Helena's Promise is a dubbed low cost show. However, the hype is only due to expectations and may drastically change in the coming days as HP's actual viewership is phenomenally low.

SURVIVOR PHILS WINS BIG IN VIEWERSHIP AND PRODUCT PLACEMENTST!

The premiere of Survivor Phils proved to be a huge success after its blockbuster debut on Monday that brought the reality program on top of the advertiser's choice!

Its competing program from ABS-CBN, My Binondo Girl earned a respectable 46 product placements making it a modest competitor in the ad market.

Survivor Phils out ranked other primetime programs of the same genra as Pinoy Big Brother only attracted 23 product placement,  barely making half of Survivor's ad revenues for the night. It also bested ABS-CBN's best performing program, 100 Days to Heaven which only earned roughly 49 product placements. Survivor Phils cleary stood as the advertiser's choice even if 100 Days to Heaven garnered more viewers in Mega Manila and NUTAM.

ABS-CBN FAILS IN A LEGAL BATTLE ANEW! LABOR GROUP TRUMPS!

Overturning earlier decisions of the labor court, the Court of Appeals has upheld the right of television  “talents” to receive the same compensation and benefits as regular network employees.

In a much-awaited decision, the appellate court said the National Labor Relations Court (NLRC) committed “grave abuse of discretion” when it twice threw out the petition of a group of “talents” who sued network giant ABS-CBN for refusing to consider them as regular employees.

The case was filed in 2008 by about 70 sound engineers, cameramen, audio men, drivers, VTR men, lightmen and camera control unit staffers of ABS-CBN.

The court said the NLRC’s ruling against the talent workers’ petition for regularization and benefit claims in October 2008 and January 2009 went against already settled precedents.
