'Battle of the Judges' scored a rating of 11.8 percent on its July 15, 2023 episode.

Ultimate talent competition Battle of the Judges got a warm welcome from viewers after its TV premiere scored high ratings.

Battle of the Judges' July 15 episode earned a rating of 11.8 percent, based on the preliminary overnight data of the Nationwide Urban TV Audience Measurement (NUTAM) People Ratings acquired by Nielsen Philippines.

The show's pilot episode featured the first level of elimination called "Battle of the Best" where four performers under each squad of the four judges, Boy Abunda, Atty. Annette Gozon-Valdes, Jose Manalo, and Bea Alonzo, faced off in two battles.

It showcased the battle between judges early on the show after Boy and Annette competed with each other as their squad members went head to head, similarly with Bea and Jose.

At the end of the episode, Boy and Bea's respective bets Nocturnal Dance Company and Moses Gozun became the first contestants who advanced to the next level of the competition.

Hosted by Asia's Multimedia Star Alden Richards, Battle of the Judges airs Saturdays, 7:15 p.m. after Pepito Manaloto on GMA.

It can also be viewed via livestreaming on the program's official Facebook page and YouTube channel.

Battle of the Judges is directed by Rico Gutierrez.
