ABS-CBN versus GMA 7By Karen Albano

If the National ratings are the basis, GMA series are losing rapidly, their shows are going down and experiencing a huge decrease in the ratings. Why? We know the answer.

It's the schedule of shows of GMA 7's Telebabad (Primetime) is a big failure! After 24 Oras, it's Luna Mystika then Totoy Bato, Tadyang, then Fated to Love You. But if you will ask Sassyqarla, the best arrangement must be this way, 24 Oras followed by Fated to Love You, Tadyang, Luna Mystika, then Totoy Bato. GMA is not looking on the demographics of their viewers while ABS-CBN doing good with their Primetime schedule.

1. 24 Oras - The timeslot is fine, after a game show (Family Feud), it's nice to see a news program.

2. Fated to Love You - A lot of highschool viewers are complaining that the timeslot of this beautiful Asian series is SO SO LATE, GMA is not considerate with the teen viewers. Ang hindi nila alam, 70% of couch potatoes in the Philippines are teenagers. Remember the time slot of Meteor Garden when it became a big hit?

3. Tadyang- Any timeslot for this series will do. Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes already established a lot of followers.

4. Luna Mystika - If Heart Evangelista has a lot of followers, her series doesn't need to be filled inside a Marian Rivera series. Her series is just like hoping and begging for some ratings from the viewers who are waiting for Tadyang and FTLY. In tagalog - umaasa.

5. Totoy Bato - A lot of gunshot, brawl and violence are with this series. GMA is so unethical to place this series a bit early.

GMA shows are still strong in Mega Manila because most Mega Manila viewers are nocturnal. And the biggest mistake of GMA, countryside viewers are not that good in staying late in front of TV. The reality, ABS-CBN is the number 1 station in the countryside, or what they call them, barrios and bayans. If GMA will continue with this kind of schedule, they will lose the ratings and popularity tremendously.
