TV Ratings Issue between ABS-CBN and GMA

[balatucan]

---

GMA said they had promotions. Wow. Like giving goodies, noodles and canned goods in exchange for the panel homes to just tune in to GMA. The witness even mentioned names in local GMA TV station Bacolod which was blocked by ABS-CBN (they are really fair). ABS even try to sought a reaction from GMA but the latter refused and instead made its own press release. Obviously, to avoid searching queries during the interview (mahirap na baka magkamali sa interview) ha ha.

Tsk, tsk, the next time GMA will advertise that they are on top of the competition, I believe no people will believe them except their die hard fans and the fans of Gloria Arroyo. Lets accept it GMA 7 is fond of GMA the fake president.

Nya na unsa NAMAN TO ANG STAMPEDE SA ULTRA mga tigulang NANGAMATAY....

[estor_boot]

kung dili pani sya legitimate promo why karun paman palag ang abs? is it because na unhan sila o this just shows that effective ilang marketing strategy nila. kung dili mo gusto ma apektaran ang mga households nga naa panels, ipakoral na nyo taga abs. and come to think of it. ABS is still number 1 here in cebu but GMA is fast behind. GMA never claimed they are number one here. na realize na sa mag katawhan nga unsa ka hugaw mo duwa ang abs especially sa new s nyo. REMEMBER THE LIDDAWWAN INCIDENT?ABS is a network known to twist facts to suit there personnal interest. that cant be denied. gibuhat man gani nila sa taga manila sa cebu pa kaha. you guys at ABS are way over your head in this issue that you guys also made. now whos looking kawawa and cheap. ayaw ninyo utoha ang katawhan

well nobody says it is illegitimate. the point is, it is also a good strategy/way to trace AGB panel homes and do the dirty tactics later. of course ABS can do promotional activites like that too, but they just opted not to. instead, they held "halad sa kapamilya", job fairs and other public services to entice more audience/viewers.

yeah, i remember the whole Liddawa incident. it seems like it was you whose twisting facts, misinformed or holding incomplete information (purposely, i assume) just to satisfy your anger/hatred against ABS.

i told you, dont get too emotional bai.

nyahahaha.. its pretty obvious ABSCBN is desperate, even sa bagong survey firm na TNS lamang pa din GMA.. eh kasabwat din ng GMA ang TNS?, tsk tsk

PANA and advertisers na mismo nagsabi sa ABSCBN na sa korte na lang pag usapan ang isyu, kasi yun ang tamang lugar para ma prove kung sino nagsasabi ng katotohanan - kasi naman kahit sino pwede magsabi na binayaran sila ng ni kahit sinong tao para mandaya, diba? so, its so obvious its a demolition job.. Y? eh luging lugi na ABSCBN walang show nag ri rate nila eh.. hehe

GMA filed a libel case against ABS-CBN to distract the real issue. GMA want to have a cover and diversion for their weak defense.

GMA Network to ABS-CBN: Read our lips - let your informant sing in court


GMA Network on Saturday dismissed as a wornout tale the testimony of an alleged ABS-CBN informant who surfaced Friday on TV Patrol World.

“There’s nothing new. It’s still dubious and inconsistent with known facts," GMA Network said in a statement.

GMA Network described as rehashed the testimony of ABS CBN informant, Mark Dumago, who revealed his face in an interview on TV Patrol.

Dumago always appeared in silhouette in his past interviews, which have aired repeatedly on ABS CBN programs and plugs.

On TV Patrol World Friday, apart from revealing to the public who he was, Dumago said nothing new, the network said.

GMA Network added:

“He continued to claim that GMA Network allegedly hired him and several others to manipulate AGB Nielsen ratings in Bacolod City back in 2006. Dumago’s testimony is the backbone of the suit for damages recently filed by ABS-CBN against AGB Nielsen. That case was dismissed by the Quezon City Regional Trial Court. ABS-CBN now faces twin suits - first, an indirect contempt of court charge from AGB Nielsen and second, a libel suit from GMA Network.

“AGB Nielsen said in its petition that ABS-CBN erroneously reported to the public in its various programs, that the court ordered AGB to stop releasing all ratings data information. AGB Nielsen complained that ABS-CBN distorted the meaning of the temporary restraining order issued by the court.

“GMA Network, for its part, is determined to pursue libel charges against ABS-CBN for its repeated attempts to damage the reputation of GMA by falsely claiming that AGB Nielsen named GMA as the party behind alleged ratings manipulation in Bacolod City. AGB Nielsen, through its lawyer, Atty. Francisco Rivera, already denied that AGB Nielsen named GMA Network and instead pointed to ABS-CBN as the one who named GMA Network.

“GMA Network wants to ferret out the truth in court - rather than be subjected to ABS-CBN’s trial by publicity.

“National advertisers also want the matter to be settled in court. In a recent trade presentation of GMA Network, advertisers appealed to both GMA and ABS-CBN not to allow the issue to continue as an ugly war of unproven allegations, detrimental to both the television industry and the viewing public.

“In that trade presentation, GMA Network President and CEO, Atty. Felipe Gozon pointed out that GMA did not draw first blood, but of course, must defend itself against the well orchestrated demolition job that ABS-CBN has launched. The latest salvo of which is the Dumago interview that aired on several ABS-CBN programs.

“Gozon’s challenge to ABS-CBN: Let Dumago and the other so called informers of ABS-CBN, prove the veracity of their testimonies in court so the public can finally find out who is really telling truth and who is just spinning malicious lies."

On Friday, the network also issued the following statement:

“GMA Network categorically denies that it hired persons to conduct alleged ratings tampering operations in Bacolod City or anywhere else in the country.

“This denial comes at the heels of the ABS-CBN informant who came forward and identified a GMA Iloilo officer as the one who allegedly hired them to bribe panel homes in Bacolod City.

“GMA Network and its employees and talents have worked hard for the success it has achieved as the number one network in Luzon, Mega Manila and Metro Manila. It has never conducted any house-to-house operations in Bacolod City nor does it engage in dirty tactics in its campaign to win over viewers in the Visayas and Mindanao.

Self serving statements of GMA. C'mon present strong counter evidence not just general denials like " we didnt make promotions," "we deny we hired." Against a credible witness, that defense will not stand. If the witness is full of hearsay, let them present witnesses that would counter the statement of the ABS witness.

regarding reforma's statements, i think everybody will agree that it was not spliced, she said it stright forward, its gma. The interviewer even asked if its the GMA, the network and Reforma said yes.

GMAs reaction is to file a libel case and then alleged that the statements is spliced off. Spliced sa ilang mata, ka klaro adto.

Kisi kisi dayun ang GMA uy. Mukhang guilty.
