GMA Network thrives in the new era with stronger, wider coverage across PH

GMA Network, the Philippines’ leading broadcast company, stays committed to being Buong Puso Para sa Pilipino with stronger, wider television coverage across the country as it continues to deliver the Kapuso brand of credible news and quality entertainment to millions of Filipinos.

While it thrives in the new era, the TV giant remains relentless in expanding its reach and signal strength through building new operating stations and upgrades.


The Network currently has a total of 93 TV stations strategically placed in various areas nationwide. It is comprised of GMA’s analog and digital TV as well as GTV’s analog TV broadcast stations.

Through the help of the said stations, Nielsen Phils. TV Audience Measurement data from January to August 2022 has shown that GMA –combined with its other channels GTV, I Heart Movies, Heart of Asia, Hallypop, and DepEd TV –reached 97.1 percent of all TV households nationwide or 18.4 million TV households in Total Philippines.

The main GMA channel alone recorded a net reach of 96.6 percent or 18.3 million TV households while the Network’s second free-to-air channel, GTV, registered 78.9 percent net reach or 15 million viewers for the said period. Total TV households in the Philippines for 2022 are estimated at almost 19 million.     

GMA’s combined people net reach in Total Philippines, on the other hand, is at 94.3 percent, or about 76.6 million viewers out of the Total Phils. estimated TV viewer population of 81.3 million for 2022.

In its pursuit of reaching every Filipino household, GMA is also set to unveil more digital TV stations that will further expand the Network’s digital TV coverage with an additional investment of over P1 billion.  Likewise, GMA is poised to reach the entire population of TV households throughout the country with its digital TV signal with its future investments.

To date, the Network has spent almost P860 million for the upgrades of existing DTT stations with a total of more than P1.8 billion for all these efforts for digital broadcast.  

As the country also continues its shift from analog to digital transmission, GMA similarly enables more Kapuso viewers to access a clearer and more vibrant TV viewing experience through its digital receivers GMA Affordabox and GMA Now.      

Aside from TV, everyone can stay updated via GMA's 23 radio stations all over the country. Kapuso viewers abroad can likewise catch GMA via its international channels GMA Pinoy TV, GMA Life TV, and GMA News TV as well as GMA On Demand. Netizens can get the latest news and Kapuso content via www.GMANetwork.com, GMA News Online, and GMA's official social media accounts. (30)

GCash cautions against gambling apps used for phishing

A recent investigation by the National Privacy Commission (NPC) and the leading mobile wallet GCash, has led to the discovery of certain gambling sites and apps which were used for account takeovers in the recent surge of phishing scams. Additionally, some influencers may have unknowingly promoted these gaming apps without being aware of their fraudulent nature. GCash is now cautioning its users to be extremely careful when accessing online gambling sites and apps, and to avoid them altogether if possible. In this latest scheme, perpetrators created gambling apps while falsely claiming to be accredited by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR). These apps deceive users with a verification process, redirecting them to a fake GCash website or payment page to top up betting credits. From there, fraudsters were able to access sensitive information such as credit card details, passwords, GCash numbers, MPINs, OTPs, and other personal data that can be exploited to gain unau...
