Kabarkada Network Beats the Kapatid Network


Studio 23 is on a winning streak as its national audience share grew to an average of 5% in September, based on recent data from Kantar Media.

The Kabarkada network has overtaken TV5 in the noontime block as it is now in third place with an average audience share of 9% in September vs TV5′s 5%.

With new programming and offerings introduced since January 2010, Studio 23′s audience share has grown to 5% from its average of 1.8% in January 2010.

Studio 23 Head March Ventosa attributed Studio 23′s impressive performance to its latest offerings of movies during lunch and early primetime, Koreanovelas, animes, Top Rank boxing matches, WWE Superstars, UFC and UAAP/NCAA games.

"We have been innovating. Since the start of the year we’ve actually introduced a series of TV programming initiatives and we are proud to say that these initiatives have actually been very successful for us. The audience reception has been very positive and we are proud to say that we now rank fourth overall in the market," said Studio 23 Head March Ventosa in a recent press conference.

Studio 23’s success in programming and growth in audience shares prompted it to innovate and introduce more new programs starting Oct 4.

Mornings on Studio 23 begin with a strong news and current affairs line-up to keep viewers informed of the latest happenings through the free TV telecast of DZMM TeleRadyo’s “Radyo Patrol Balita Alas-Siete” with Ted Failon and “Dos Por Dos” with Anthony Taberna and Gerry Baja from 7 am to 8:30 am.
