GMA Network Continues On-Air and Online Dominance in 2023

Media giant GMA Network remains the undisputed leader on air and online for Full Year 2023.

      

 

Nielsen TV Audience Measurement (TAM) ratings data from January to December 2023 show that GMA – together with GTV and digital channels I Heart Movies, Heart of Asia, Pinoy Hits, and Hallypop – tallied a combined people net reach of 94 percent or a projected total of 73 million viewers in Total Philippines.

Further strengthening its presence across different regions in the country through GMA Regional TV, the Network launched GMA Ilocos Norte, its 12th regional station, in March 2023. With its award-winning and top-rating local newscast: “One Northern Luzon” (in North Central Luzon), “Balitang Southern Tagalog” (in Southern Tagalog), “Balitang Bicolandia” (in Bicol Region), “Balitang Bisdak” (in Central and Eastern Visayas), “One Western Visayas” (in Western Visayas), and “One Mindanao” (in Northern, Southern, South Central, and Western Mindanao) on GMA regional channels, and “Regional TV News” on GTV, GMA Regional TV programs solidify GMA Integrated News’ position as the “News Authority of the Filipino.”

 

Besides analog broadcast stations, the Network has also ventured into more digital and online platforms with the aim of making information even more accessible.

 

While GMA Synergy, with the different departments within the Network, following the success of the jam-packed ‘Queendom Live!’ in 2023, continues to produce world-class concerts, sports entertainment, and other exciting and relevant events, including the award-winning GMA Masterclass Series, across the Philippines and overseas.
