GMA Network’s second free-to-air channel, GTV is now the second most-watched channel in the country.
Based on November to December 11 data from Nielsen Philippines, GTV recorded a total day people audience share of 11.3 percent in total Philippines.
The Kapuso Network’s main free-to-air channel, GMA, meanwhile, remains strong in the top spot with a dominant 41.5 percent people audience share.
GTV’s ratings success can also be attributed to the Nnetwork’s on-going efforts to expand GTV’s reach and clarity of reception in areas outside of Mega Manila.
Following GTV’s launch in February, the network has commissioned six analog TV station upgrades in different parts of the country — Tandang Sora in Manila, Mt. Sto. Tomas in Benguet, Mt. Banoy in Batangas, Naga in Camarines Sur, Legazpi in Albay, and just recently, General Santos City in Mindanao.
Viewers can also expect that more areas will be added to this growing list of upgrades by 2022 as GMA further strengthens its digital terrestrial television roll-out through transmitter upgrades.
