ABS-CBN dominated nationwide TV ratings for the month of October by virtue of its weeklong top-caliber primetime offerings that continue to gain significant increases as more and more viewers watch them on both weekday and weekend nights. ABS-CBN made a clean sweep taking all 15 out of the top 15 slots in Kantar Media’s list of most watched programs for October.
Phenomenal TV drama “Walang Hanggan,” which Filipinos religiously followed for nine months, ended its successful run by topping the top 15 with a national TV rating of 36.4%. The series’ finale peaked at 45.4% in national TV ratings, almost three times higher than rival program “Luna Blanca” (16.1%).
“Wansapanataym” remained unfazed with a national TV rating of 34.2% and toppled GMA’s recently launched reality game show “Extra Challenge” that lagged behind with 17.3%.
ABS-CBN’s new family drama series “Ina, Kapatid, Anak” (27.8%) and romantic teleserye “A Beautiful Affair” (23.9%) also made a strong entrance to the top 15 by bagging the 6th and 13th spots respectively.
“TV Patrol,” on the other hand, is still the Philippine’s undisputed number one newscast with an average TV rating of 31.1% or 13 points higher than GMA’s “24 Oras” (17.7%).
Meanwhile, noontime show “It’s Showtime” has shown significant improvement in its ratings performance by reaching an all-time high national TV rating of 20.9% and beating rival program “Eat Bulaga” (15%) last October 26. It prevailed during its third anniversary week (Oct 22-27) by averaging 17.5% in national TV ratings over “Eat Bulaga” (14.4%).
Here is the list of Top 15 programs nationwide for the month of October 2012.
