My Thoughts on the ABS-CBN vs. GMA Ratings Game

Author: J. Angelo Racoma Category: Business, Multimedia Tags: blogging, blogs, Business, Multimedia Views: 11666

If you watch local (Philippine) television you would be bombarded with regular messages explaining some discrepancies in data gatherings for ratings in certain towns. Here’s my take on the ratings game, as posted on the Blog Herald.

[I]t dawned upon me that the reason behind all this fuss is money. For us consumers ratings could simply be indicators of how popular a television (or radio) channel or network is, for a given time of the day. However, for the network and for the media industry, ratings represent pricing power. For media that are not able to count exact “hits” or “page views” ratings are used as an indication of popularity and reach. This translates to how much the television network or station can charge advertisers, particularly as they price ad spots on cost per thousand pairs of eyeballs (or impressions, if that’s a better term).

Check out the BlogHerald editorial to see how I think this affects us, as bloggers.

sos…
parehas lang aman ang dalawang networks na nag gagayahan eh…
walang pinagkaiba…
just that…
my ibat iba tayong taste at tipo na mga pinapanuod..
kapuso ako…
dating kapamilya…
dhil…
una…
lumipat ako sa kapuso dhil exaggerated magbalita ang abs cbn…
my isa sa mga kaibigan ko sa skul b4 na nabalita sa tv
at iniba nila ang balita dito…
nagulat nlang ako ng ginanun nila ang balita
mali un…
at di tama..
pangalawa…
hindi ko din nagugustuhan ang ginagawa ng mga tga ABS CBN
na bayadan ng mas matataas ng talent fee ang taga ibang bakod…
un ang dahilan kya nakukuha nila ang ibang talent ng kabila…
isipin nyo nga
most sa mga tga abs cbn
nang galing sa gma
just that nakakagat lang nila ang mga offer ng abs cbn…
kumukuha sila ng talent sa kabila dhil alam nilang magagaling ito…
at kailangan nila ito para tumawag ng pansin sa kanilang istasyon…

alam ko nman ang dalawang istasyon ay naghahangad lang ng mga viwers at support..
kung padamihan at pataasan ng ratings ang hinahangad nila
BOTH nman sila nkukuha un…
ngalang SANA sa maAUS na PAraAn…hindi sa dayaan…
tska..
bat kau nagmumurahan dito?
anong koneksyon nun sa abs cbn at gma?
(to be continued)

IM PR0UD T0 BE A KAPAMILYA…..

the best talaga kapamilya! walang bnabat ang GMA sa kanila!
ang GMA puro pngggya lang walang mga originality! sana kahit minsan gumawa naman sila ng palabas na ndi nila ginaya kasi halos lahat gnagya nla sa ABS e…

Ndi naman no.1 ang mga kapuso sa metro manila e! mangilan ngilan nga lang ang nanood ng GMA dto sa BAGONG SILANG e… mas gusto nila ang ABS kesa sa GMA!
ang mga abs cbn gmagwa talaga ng di naulit na shows e! pinapatunayan nila kung ano ang galing nila umiisip sila ng proyektong may lessons at may matututunan. at ndi sila gumagaya sa channel 7 ang mga channel 7 naman gaya ng gaya sa abs cbn parang mga bobo parang mga walang isip kaya nga sila binigyan ng utak para magisip di para gumaya! walang kwenta ang gma!
