“FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano” once again topped all programs in June, hitting an average national TV rating of 42.6%.

Also making it to the list of the ten most watched programs in the country in June were ABS-CBN-produced programs “Your Face Sounds Familiar Kids” (33.6%), “Bagani” (32.7%), “TV Patrol” (29.9%), “MMK” (27.9%), “Home Sweetie Home” (25.6%), “Wansapanataym” (24.9%), “It’s Showtime” Saturday (22.6%), and “Rated K” (21.2%).

ABS-CBN’s primetime block (6 PM-12 MN) also maintained its strength as it scored an average audience share of 48%, beating GMA’s 33%.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.

ABS-CBN also continued to win in all time blocks, including the morning block (6 AM to 12 NN) where it gained 39% versus GMA’s 29%, in the noontime block (12 NN to 3 PM), where it scored 47% versus GMA’s 31%, and in the afternoon block (3 PM to 6 PM), where it got 44% versus GMA’s 36%.

Aside from radio and television, ABS-CBN has also become the leader in the local music, film, cable TV, and publishing industries and is also the pioneer of digital television in the country.

In early May, ABS-CBN TVplus already sold five million boxes since its launch in 2015 and significantly driven the growth of digital terrestrial television (DTT) penetration in Metro Manila and nationwide. Pulse Asia and SWS both conducted surveys in March, which showed, respectively, that 51% and 56% of Metro Manila homes own a DTT box, which gives a better TV viewing experience and more choices in terms of programs and channels. The Pulse Asia and SWS surveys also found, respectively, that 16% and 17% of households nationwide have a DTT box.

ABS-CBN also leads all media networks in bringing its content online to address the change in the Filipinos’ viewing habits. On its over-the-top content platform iWant TV, the top five most watched programs in June 2018 were “Precious Hearts Romances Presents Araw Gabi,” “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano,” “Asintado,” “The Blood Sisters,” and “Bagani.”

ABS-CBN, home to the Philippines’ top-rating TV programs, box-office films, and best-selling books and music, is rapidly transitioning into an agile digital company with the biggest online presence among all Filipino media companies, and a growing list of digital properties.

ABS-CBN, the country’s leading entertainment and media company, also continues to dominate the digital space. It recently received the Diamond Creator Award from YouTube as its entertainment channel surpassed ten million subscribers, becoming the first ever channel in the country and the third in Southeast Asia to do so.

The company has also announced that it is opening its first Experience Store at Trinoma soon. It also partnered with Ayala Malls and opened its events place ABS-CBN Vertis Tent in November, and with CityMall Commercial Centers, Inc. to manage the mall chain’s cinemas, the first of which opened in August last year.

ABS-CBN reported a net income of P411 million for the first quarter of 2018.
