GMA Network secures dominant position in nationwide ratings

GMA Network strengthened its lead in the race for nationwide ratings supremacy, based on data from the industry’s widely trusted ratings service provider Nielsen TV Audience Measurement.

For the period October 1 to 31 (with October 23 to 31 based on overnight data), GMA continued to lead competition in NUTAM with a 37.4 percent average household audience share, ahead of ABS-CBN’s 35.6 percent by 1.8 points.

GMA scored top ratings across all dayparts in NUTAM, including primetime due to the consistently strong performance of its programs on this hotly contested block.

Six of the ten most watched programs in NUTAM belonged to GMA with Encantadia, the 2016 version of the well-loved Kapuso telefantasya emerging as the highest-rating Kapuso show nationwide.

Fans tricked by Ryzza Mae’s look-alike

Nicole Quimzon of Brgy. Canlalay, Biñan, Laguna almost always captivates the attention of people wherever she goes, not because she is a celebrity herself, but because she resembles someone who is.

In last Sunday’s episode of the news magazine show on GMA-7 “Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho (KMJS),” multi-awarded broadcast journalist Jessica Soho featured Nicole, a look-alike of Little Ms. Philippines 2012 Grand Winner and host of a morning talk show, Ryzza Mae Dizon.
