DTV Scoops Survey: 98% agreed to give ABS-CBN a new franchise

 

1 year after the shutdown, ABS-CBN remains in the heart of every Filipino. Our Facebook survey shows that 98% said they are in favor of the franchise renewal. 

In 2020, an SWS survey showed almost the same result that states 3 out of 4 Filipinos want ABS-CBN franchise to be renewed. 

SWS said the poll was conducted while public hearings on the network’s franchise application were ongoing at the House of Representatives.

The July 3 to July 6 survey posed the following question to its respondents: “Dapat na i-renew ng Kongreso ang prangkisa ng ABS-CBN upang muli nitong maipalabas ang kanyang mga programa (Congress should renew the franchise of ABS-CBN so that it can broadcast its programs again.)”

The poll used a probability-based survey that was conducted using a mobile phone and computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI).

SWS said it interviewed 1,555 Filipinos aged 18 years old and above. Of the total, 306 are in Metro Manila, 451 in Balance Luzon, 388 in the Visayas, and 410 in Mindanao.

The survey also has sampling error margins of ±2% for national percentages, ±6% for Metro Manila, and ±5 for Balance Luzon, ±5% Visayas, and ±5% in Mindanao.
