The much-awaited Philippine Free TV debut of popular anime series Yo-kai Watch outscored the program of the rival network in TV ratings since it premiered on March 28.
From March 28 to April 8 (with the date April 4 to 8 based on overnight data), Yo-kai Watch marked an average household tv rating of 7.9 percent and ruled over its counterpart program Kris TV with just an average 4.7 percent in National Urban TV Audience Measurement (NUTAM) ratings. This is according to the more widely recognized TV ratings supplier, Nielsen TV Audience Measurement.
Yo-kai Watch was also consistently ahead of competition in Urban Luzon and Mega Manila as the Kapuso program scored a rating 8.0 percent and 7.3 percent, ahead of its rival program which only garnered 3.9 percent and 3.8 percent, respectively.
Most of the urban TV households in the country are found in Mega Manila and Urban Luzon. Urban Luzon accounts for 77 percent, while Mega Manila increased its urban population share to 60 percent effective January 2016.
