The Philippine Azkals who routed Sri Lanka 4-0 before a wildly cheering crowd of over 13,000 fans last Sunday, July 3, clobbered the PBA which was telecast also on Studio 23 in terms of nationwide ratings.
The Azkals game rated an average of 9.7 nationally while the two PBA games rated an average of a mere 2.2 percent according to Kantar Media, Nutam ratings of total TV households.
The biggest gap was in Mindanao where the football match delivered an 11.25 rating which also registered the highest ratings for the PBA games with the first game turning in a 5.7 rating and the second 4.2.
In the Visayas where football is particularly popular in the Negros region, the Azkals vs Sri Lanka match rated 10.32 percent while the PBA games rated a dismal 2.2 and 1.5 percent.
Mega Manila registered a 10.4 rating for the Azkals as against 3.2 and 2.6 for the PBA games. It was a similar story in the suburbs where the national football team drew an 8.46 rating vs the PBA games which drew 2.5 and 1.3.
In Northern Luzon it was 5.09 for the football and 2.1 percent for each of the PBA games. The PBA fared even worse in Southern Luzon with ratings of 1.7 and 1.5 compared to 7.75 for the Azkals match.

this would not do good for Philippine sports, Ronnie shame on you! instead of working on to develop both sports YOU LAMBAST the other one! crabs like you deserves to be eaten with suka.
ReplyDeletewala akong nakikitang mali sa news na eto.sinabi lang naman nya ang totoong ratings that day na nag laro ang azkal.kaya isipin mo muna ang pinagsasabi mo bago ka mag comment.
ReplyDeletekudos to ronnie nathanielsz for citing the figures. sana papasok na rin ang corporate sponsors dito sa provinces especially in mindanao where we have 17 regular football associations. go azkals go.
ReplyDeletethis only means that media is successful in building the popularity of azkals. the datas only show that Filipinos are open for other sports not just Basketball which is known to be the number 1 sport here in the Phil. there's nothing wrong with this report at all.
ReplyDeleteAnother thing is the game that was played by Azkals is a crucial battle. that game was played against a foreign country so good thing Filipinos supported our representatives to this historic event.
Good job azkals for winning and good job Philipines for standing by beside team Azkals..
I don't understand the criticism against Ronnie Nathanielsz. It's only a news story about TV ratings, not an opinion piece.
ReplyDeleteIt makes me wonder why that unnamed critic was reacting to something that wasn't there at all.
there are people here bashing the philippine football team and filipino football in general for one reason or another. better leave this site. you have no place here if theres nothing else you can say except negative comments.
