Marimar hits 39.3%; surpasses pilot rating

Just like any race dealing with statistics, GMA-7's Marimar is showing frequent highs and some moderate lows. But like any competent warrior engaged in a tough competition, any setback means sufficient reason to regain ground. And what a way to bounce back. A day after tying its pilot episode rating, the tandem of Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera in Marimar showed sufficient grit as it registered a whopping 39.3 percent showing last September 13, Thursday. The impressive number came a day after Marimar matched its debut rating of 38.3 percent. The said performance was more than enough to keep close competitor Impostora at bay, at least for the week. Impostora for its part managed to keep in step last Tuesday, September 11, as it gathered a 33.1 percent rating against Marimar's 34.9 percent clip. Daytime programming, meanwhile ,showed a lot more movement as GMA-7's Meteor Garden and ABS-CBN's Game KNB? took turns in breaking Eat Bulaga's hold of the top spot. Meteor Garden took September 10, Monday, with a 21.5 percent rating while Game KNB? wrestled the lead last September 12, Wednesday, by its 22.4 percent performance. The TV coverage of the announcement of former President Erap Estrada's guilty verdict also figured prominently at the ratings last September 12, Wednesday. GMA-7's coverage posted 21.7 percent rating compared to ABS-CBN's 15.5 percent. Both coverages landed on the Top 10 daytime programs that day.
