The PinoyTop10 Favorite TV Networks for 2009

Winston Churchill, the British Prime Minister in the world war 2 era, once said - “Never, never, never give up”.

I guess this is the slogan of the UNTV fans who have made it to the top spot of our polls despite criticisms from other networks’ fans.  No doubt they won’t give up until the end and theirs is one of the remarkable wins this year. 

UNTV 37 is our No 1 TV Network as Voted by PinoyTop10 Members!

UNTV Fans started late in the game.  A supporter has convinced us to include their network in our Top 10 Favorite TV Networks category and since then they have not looked back.  The supporters flocked to the site, almost clogging in the server at one point and even crashing our Shoutbox for once.  This is a true story of how anyone in PinoyTop10 can become a winner.  UNTV has risen from the pit based on supporters vote.  We have not in any way convinced anyone in their camp to do so but they themselves should be credited for it.

This category has been dominated first by ABS-CBN.  After sometime, the GMA Kapuso fans caught up with the Kapamilya fans and stayed there for months.  Then UNTV fans came to the site and nominated their station.  Within the first week, the UNTV supporters managed to topple each network one by one coming from the bottom and landing at the 3rd spot from ABS and GMA.  They are unrelenting and after a few more days, they have overtaken ABS-CBN at the 2nd spot.  Still they continue to pound the polls, voting daily and asking comrades to vote from all over the world.  In about a month, they gained the top spot and never looked back.  The rest is history.

At some point, GMA 7 fans rallied as the UNTV supporters become complacent about their victory and wide margins.  Kapuso fans quietly gained momentum and slowly closed the vote gap. The UNTV fans realized they are gonna lose the top spot and rallied again to the finish yesterday.

It would be fitting to note here that the Kapuso fans are the most silent and committed voters in our polls.  They seldom shout at our Shoutbox but they are doing their job of voting consistently – daily – and asking other Kapuso fans to do so.  It has been a momentous journey to catch up with the leading UNTV fans at the top.  They just fell short of it as the avid supporters of UNTV are just too tough to dislodge from their post.

The ABS-CBN camp has been silent on this category. After losing the 2nd spot from GMA and UNTV, the fans got disinterested in toppling the top contender.  They stayed where they are slowly eaten up in the last months of the year by QTV.  Q Channel 11 fans came from the Kapuso pool as well.  They have been working hard to maintain their thrust to pull away from the ABS-CBN camp and they did it successfully so they stayed at the No 3 spot.

Studio 23, a known ABS-CBN outfit, remained at the foot of ABS-CBN to land at No 5 in our list.  Net25, also a latecomer, still managed to land its feet at the 6th spot despite all odds.  Net 25 supporters slowly build up momentum soon after their nomination was approved.  RPN 9,  ABC 5, IBC 13 and RMN completes our top 10 list.

And lastly, I just wanted to point out that time and again, we have been accused as Pro GMA7 and their artists.  We are not Pro-GMA 7 or any candidate for that matter. This is an independent online polling for Pinoys worldwide.  We are not commissioned by anyone or tied up with other companies.  This category shows you that what we say is true.  The votes we are tallying are based on actual members votes online and done in real time (you can see it add up instantly as you click the Vote button) for transparency.  We never hide our results unlike other online polls. We are just a vehicle for people to show their sentiments, feelings and support to their idols.

To the Big Winner UNTV Channel 37, your hard work has paid off and Congratulations to your TV station for bagging the No 1 Spot in the PinoyTop10’s Favorite TV Network for 2009.

To the GMA 7 and ABS-CBN 2 fans out there, congratulations as well for putting up a good fight.   We believe that the Kapuso and Kapamilya fans will surely catch up in the 2010 top 10 race here at PinoyTop10.com,

To all other TV networks and their fans, congratulations to you all!
