The latest Nielsen NUTAM People Ratings for February 2–16, 2026, are out, and the "Kapatid" ecosystem is showing some serious muscle. While the competition for the top spot remains fierce, TV5 has solidified its position as the primary alternative for Filipino viewers, while its sister channel, RPTV, is making waves by outperforming several established networks.
TV5: The Undisputed No. 2 Network
Data from the first half of February shows TV5 maintaining a commanding lead over its nearest competitors. Registering a 3.8 rating and a massive 17.2% audience share, the Kapatid Network is effectively bridging the gap between niche channels and the top-tier market.
Despite the recent conclusion of several content partnerships, TV5’s strategic move toward original programming and high-octane sports coverage has kept its viewership loyal and engaged.
RPTV Surges: A New Force in the Top 5
One of the most surprising highlights of the Nielsen report is the performance of RPTV. Clocking in with a 1.7 rating and a 5.8% audience share, RPTV has officially broken into the Top 5 most-watched channels in the country.
By beating out major players like ALLTV2 and the Kapamilya Channel in the ratings game, RPTV is proving that its mix of news, PBA games, and general entertainment is exactly what the modern viewer is looking for.
Performance Breakdown: February 2–16, 2026
| Rank | Network | Ratings | Audience Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | GMA Network | 10.9 | 46.1% |
| 2 | TV5 | 3.8 | 17.2% |
| 3 | GTV | 3.6 | 14.9% |
| 4 | A2Z | 1.9 | 6.5% |
| 5 | RPTV | 1.7 | 5.8% |

| 7 | Kapamilya Channel | 0.5 | 2.1% |
The Multi-Channel Strategy
The combined strength of TV5 and RPTV (collectively holding 23% of the total audience share) signals a successful diversification strategy by the MediaQuest group. While GMA continues to lead the pack, the Kapatid networks are successfully capturing the "second screen" audience and dominating the sports and news niches.
As we head into the rest of 2026, the question remains: Can TV5 break the 4.0 rating barrier, and will RPTV continue its upward climb to challenge A2Z for the No. 4 spot?
