Dyesebel drowns competitor mermaid

March 20, 2014

The network war has conquered the sea. This time it is mermaid versus mermaid on the same primetime slot. But who did well in the ratings game?

ABS-CBN’s Dyesebel debuted last Monday, March 17. It was pitted against GMA’s Kambal Sirena and third is IBC’s Janella in Wonderland which went a week ahead of telecast. Based on the available ratings from AGB in Mega Manila, Dyesebel splashed a few numbers ahead of its competitor mermaid with an overnight rating of 25.2% against the 34.1% and 23.6% and plotted by the rival.

On the national ratings data provided by TNS, Dyesebel also drowned two rivals like Janella in Wonderland and Kambal Sirena by almost 15%. It nabbed 32.8% as compared to the 17.9% of its competition.

With the high ratings of Dyesebel, the Kapamilya network once again proves that stories about mermaid are not yet outdated for the Philippine audience. It can be recalled that prior to this TV series, the network has successfully ran several mermaid series such as Marina starring Claudine Baretto, Mutya starring child wonder Mutya Orquia, and Aryana with Ella Cruz on the lead role.

The Anne Curtis-starrer Dyesebel airs Monday to Friday at the Kampamilya’s Primetime Bida block after TV Patrol while the Louise de los Reyes-starrer Kambal Sirena airs on the same slot after 24 Oras on the Kapuso’s Telebabad block. Meanwhile, the Janella Salvador-starrer Janella in Wonderland airs on the same slot on Kapinoy’s PrimeTastik block after Express Balita.
