What station do you often go to? ABS or GMA?
On noontime shows, i prefer to watch at GMA because I'm getting tired of the songs that keeps on playing at wowowee. So I prefer eat bulaga. On anime and other cartoon shows, I like the ones televised on Gma too. But I like ABS for its other shows.
How about you guys?

Most of the time I'm tuning on ABS than GMA, but for me they're both good stations to watch programs with and I don't have a favoritism when it comes to TV Channels, every channels I go would always do for me. I'm actually a friendly viewer lols

ABS-CBN is more entertaining for me and I like it more. GMA shows are kinda boring for me specially at night. So I like channel 2 more. But it's up to the person on what's the best since we all have different tastes on programs.

It depends on the reception.
Last month we're a kapuso, but now we're kapamilya coz ABS is more clearer now the GMA.

I think everybody here in the Philippines watches both stations as both got good shows anyway. In fact, I believe that most viewers are shifting channels everytime a commercial will start -- at least tha's what I am doing -- too bad for the sponsoring companies.
As GMA is now at par with ABS-CBN, the station is successfully coming up with new and competitive shows. To retain its competitive edge, the Lopez-owned station is never sleepy in its job of providing world-class entertainment.
As both stations are Pinoy-based, we should support them and watch shows from them.

I definitely say the ABS-CBN. Ever since I was a child we are a solid Kapamilya but recently I was switching channels. I sometimes get bored of all the show of ABS-CBN and GMA7. But in primetime I choose channel 2 because they have lots of interesting shows than channel 7 like the Sana Maulit Muli, Maging Sino Ka Man, Princess Hours, Pinoy Big Brother, and etc. But in cartoon and anime I definitely go for gma. They all got the great cartoons like the Detective Conan, Flame of Recca, and Gokusen 1 and 2.

i like GMA shows better. but lately, i grew sick and tired of all those fantaseryes. I mean is there anything else that GMA can offer besides those tales of superheroes that has stories plots that are so cliche? one thing too, anyone who watched smallville must be pissed when he watched Captain Barbell. it has the same story line!

I guess both stations has its bad and good points when it comes to broadcasting. It just depends on how they will proejct their channel. There are times that their shows becomes exaggerated and would find their shows to become uninteresting to watch at all and bothe these stations are having their pitfalls like this. So I wouldn't choose which one is the best since they do have same mistakes and successes in their shows.

When it comes to the primetime shows ABS_CBN rules the game because they provide us with quality shows that can be shown worldwide and be proud of. but when it comes to entertainment and morning shows i go for GMA because it's very refreshing and new in nature. both have it's advantages and it's disadvantages.

I like both statins but that depends on the shows that are showing. I live in Davao so there are some shows here that are not televised because thay change it with Bisaya shows so I'd rather watch on GMA but I think we should subscribe to cable. More shows, more choices.
