The primetime block is the most important part of the day when most Filipinos watch TV and advertisers put a larger chunk of their investment in to reach more consumers effectively.<br /><br />Still topping the list of most watched primetime programs during the previous month is “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano” with an average national TV rating of 41.2% followed by “Dolce Amore” with 34.5%. The two leading shows’ rivals, “Little Nanay” and “That’s My Amboy” only had 17.8% and 16.1% respectively. “The Story of Us” and “We Will Survive” meanwhile had 18.8% and 15.2% with their direct competitors, “Because of You” and “Wowowin” only garnered 14.6% and 14.7%.<br /><br />Completing the top ten programs of the month are “Pilipinas Got Talent” at number 2 with a 35% average rating, its fellow weekend fares “MMK” (32.9%) and “Wansapanataym” (29.5%), the only news program in the list “TV Patrol” (28.3%), “Home Sweetie Home” (24.3%), and “Rated K” (23.7%).<br /><br />The company recently reported a 25% surge in its net income in 2015 to earn P2.55 billion, higher than 2014’s P2 billion. Its revenue, meanwhile, was up 11% to P38.28 billion, from P33.5 billion in the previous year.<br /><br />Kantar Media is a leading television (TV) audience measurement provider with capabilities in gathering TV viewing data in both digital and analog platforms.
