Talk:List of Philippine television ratings for 2008

message: I have added the "confusing" tag in the article.  It didn't clarify the difference between NUTAM, weekly ratings, monthly ratings etc.  How did AGB or any research firm come up with that figure? --Jojit (talk) 02:31, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Latest ratings

thread_title:  Weekly Performance 

message: Weekly performance is vital because, we can determine the average rating and certainly predict ratings the next week. And mainly, we can determine which episode shown is highly attended and lowly viewed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by R.mi. shinley (talk • contribs) 01:25, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

NUTAM supposed to be 100% of all the "Urban Markets" in the Philippines INCLUDING MEGA MANILA.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.91.146.72 (talk) 06:09, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  NUTAM Market comprise of only 38% 

message: This article is truly GMA sided. I think Wikipedia should refer their ratings on AGB-Nielsen or NUTAM and not on other website such as PEP, which is popularly known to be made by GMA New Media, a subsidiary of the said network.
If it is so,then PEP, Wikipedia or the kind contributing author must display the real country-wide numbers for weekly ratings and most watched section and not "for Mega Manila only". According to Wikipedia,  "Rating" is the percentage of potential listeners  Since listeners (or viewers) are not only in Metro. Plus, The percentage division must be revised: When did "Mega Manila got the 48% of the total TV households" combining it with the Luzon will be 76%. Therefore, 24% belongs to Visayas and Mindanao? Is it because Luzon is highly urbanized city? Dealing with Market shares: Mega Manila represents 52% while the remaining percent shares come from the regions.

What I wanted about this article is not just about ratings. It's about authority of reference and PEP is not a good example. In conclusion, this article must be revised. Else, it will be a new candidate for deletion: Blatant Advertising of PEP on GMA, Notabiltity, and Inappropriate in a way that weekly review must be based as country-wide.
:PEP is not owned by GMA. What AGB Nielsen spews out is on PEP. PEP doesn't conduct ratings surveys, they rely on AGB Nielsen and other ratings agency. So AGB Nielsen = PEP. They're identical.
:As you can notice, the NUTAM is displayed first. When you say about NUTAM, you'd only factor urban Philippines which is 39% of the Philippines; hence when the figures say "33%", it means 33% of urban Philippines. The rest of the 61% isn't included, maybe there are no TVs in the area.
:Now, 52% of that 39% (or 20% of the 100%) is Mega Manila; now when you say 33% of Mega Manila, that means it only encompasses Mega Manila (Metro Manila, Bulacan, Rizal, Cavite and Laguna).
:And we don't "archive everything single rating result" since if that was the case this won't be formatted a la top 10 and instead we just copy-paste everything that's on PEP. --Howard the Duck 11:59, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Follow Up 

message: The two first paragraphs are devoted on focusing on how "Mega Manila is the largest Media Market etc". A common GMA Network propaganda on sweet coating their rating performance. Even though, in common sense, National ratings deems to be important for every Countries in the World, thus the more appropriate information for an Encyclopedia. We do not see the US giving special commendation on New York ratings or L.A. ratings (the two largest media market). Or UK on London ratings or Japan on Tokyo ratings. Local ratings are important to their Local Areas and not necessarily to the whole Country. If we are to put Mega Manila Ratings why not put Metro Cebu or Metro Davao or Metro Baguio ratings as well?The point is if we are to provide "Philippine" ratings article its should always be exclusively devoted to National Ratings. Make a "Mega Manila" ratings article a sub article. Regardless, this article should be deleted because archiving ratings itself is not very encyclopedic. Or at least reformatted in a more encyclopedic sense.68.127.150.4 (talk) 20:38, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
