July 09 2021

GMA Network’s flagship AM and FM radio stations both finished the first half of 2021 strong as they remained unbeatable for six consecutive months in Mega Manila, according to Nielsen’s Radio Audience Measurement latest data.

For the whole month of June, Super Radyo DZBB 594 dominated all AM stations with an average total day audience share of 42.6 percent, which was a significant increase from previous month’s 33.3 percent.

DZBB was also able to tap 2.6 million listeners in June, almost 80 percent of which were exclusive listeners of the station.

The station’s highest rating block was still recorded during the 6:00 to 8:00 am timeslots. This segment includes the number one AM program “Super Balita sa Umaga Nationwide” anchored by Mike Enriquez and Joel Reyes Zobel during weekdays; while Rowena Salvacion and Emil Sumangil’s “Super Balita Sa Umaga / Isyu Atbp.” is the top during Saturdays; and “Super Balita Sa Umaga” with Kathy San Gabriel and Ralph Obina on Sundays.

On the other hand, DWLS or Barangay LS 97.1 Forever! posted an average audience share of 28.7 percent in June. This was almost twice the average of its nearest competition, which only got 15.8 percent.

Across all time blocks, Barangay LS topped all other FM stations in Mega Manila with its 12 pm to 2 pm segment posting the highest numbers.
