In January 2009, Kantar Media officially released its national television audience measurement data in the Philippines via Taylor Nelson Sofres (TNS) Media, a subsidiary of Kantar Group. In February 2009, Kantar Group merged TNS with Kantar Media Research International, which is now called Kantar Media.
In June 2012, Kantar Media launched its Mega Manila TV Advertising Expenditure Service, integrated with its audience measurement service through Infosys+. This integration provides faster access to information and combines data from time blocks, programs, and advertisements into a single analysis to serve leading local and regional broadcast networks, advertising agencies, and media planners. Furthermore, Kantar Media also offers custom media research services for radio, print, and digital media.[3]
Kantar Media became the official radio survey partner of the Radio Research Council (RRC) and Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP) in December 2014, covering 53 cities in the Philippines.[4]
Originally, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the broadcast stoppage of its main partner ABS-CBN due to the non-renewal of its congressional franchise on July 10, 2020, Kantar Media announced that it would end its television ratings service by the end of 2020.[5] However, the plan was reversed after ABS-CBN secured a deal with ZOE Broadcasting Network to air some programs on A2Z Channel 11 (formerly ZOE TV, QTV/Q, and GMA News TV).[6]
