NUTAM TV RATINGS: August 2008!: "ABS-CBN's THE SINGING BEE ONCE AGAIN PROVED THAT THEY ARE THE #1 SHOW IN THE PHILIPPINES!"

A month after sharing the No. 1 spot in the Top Weekday Programs category with Angel Locsin and Piolo Pascual, Cesar Montano's The Singing Bee nailed solo leadership to rule the NUTAM (Nationwide Urban TV Audience Measurement) survey for the month of August.

It wasn't a stroll in the park though for the karaoke singing game show as it had to contend with Mega Manila topnotcher Dyesebel in a fierce battle for primetime supremacy. The Singing Bee barely escaped the tandem of Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes as it generated a slim 33.2 percent rating against Dyesebel's 33.1 percent tally.

Anne Curtis's fantaserye Dyosa likewise joined the fray with an impressive 31.9 percent rating to secure the third slot. TV Patrol World bounced back to once again enter the winning column. Collecting a grade of 30.5 percent, the popular news program climbed to the No. 3 position after settling for seventh place last July behind the now defunct Robin Padilla action series, Joaquin Bordado.

Also caught in a tight battle were ABS-CBN's Iisa Pa Lamang and GMA-7's Codename: Asero, with the former once again emerging victorious. The star-studded drama series collected a rating of 30.2 percent to upset Richard Gutierrez's 30 percent showing.

Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson's My Girl moved a notch up from No. 8 to No. 7, thanks to its 27 percent rating to trail behind Asero.

The daytime race showed interesting movements as GMA-7's 1-2 afternoon drama punch inched closer to the top. Magdusa Ka and Gaano Kadalas ang Minsan showed great progress, occupying the third and fourth slot respectively. Magdusa Ka garnered a rating of 19.4 percent to lead Gaano Kadalas ang Minsan, which gained a total of 19.1 percent.

ABS-CBN's afternoon contenders Wowowee and El Cuerpo Del Deseo, however, stalled the brave rally displayed by the two GMA-7 programs. For the month of August, Willie Revillame's noontime variety show amassed 22.6 percent, followed by the Pinoy-dubbed Spanish telenovela's 22.3 grade.

Wowowee's fortune extended over the weekend as it led the daytime race for the Top Weekend Programs with 22 percent, beating ASAP 08's 20.2. Eat Bulaga performed way much better during weekends, as shown by its 18.9 percent rating, while Cinema FPJ lagged closely behind with 17.4 percent.
