Sa kalamangan na 6.8 points, lumilitaw na 1.2 million pang manonood sa buong bansa ang nakatutok sa mga programa ng Kapuso station kumpara sa ABS-CBN sa nabanggit na panahon. Ang naturang pagtaya ay batay sa limang manonood sa bawat tahanan.

Ang patuloy na paglakas ng GMA ay bunga ng pamamayagpag sa nationwide ratings ng mga Kapuso program sa daytime block, at ang paghina ng ABS-CBN sa kanilang primetime performance sa naturang bahagi ng buwan ng Oktubre.

Ang GMA pa rin ang primetime winner sa Urban Luzon (na kumakatawan sa 77% ng nationwide TV households). Sa partial October ratings, angat ng 3.5 points ang GMA (33.7) sa ABS-CBN (30.2 points).

Sa overall top 10 programs sa Urban Luzon, pito ang mula sa GMA primetime programs, na kinabibilangan ng Munting Heredera, Amaya, Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho, Iglot, 24 Oras, Pepito Manaloto, at Time of My Life.

Sa Mega Manila (na kumakatawan sa 58% ng nationwide TV households), mas malaki ang kalamangan ng GMA (34.4 points) sa ABS-CBN (28.5 points).

Halos walisin ng mga programa ng GMA ang top 10 programs sa Mega Manila. Kabilang dito ang Munting Heredera, Amaya, Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho, Iglot, 24 Oras, Time of My Life, Pepito Manaloto, at Imbestigador.

Ang Nielsen TV Audience Measurement na ginagamit ng GMA ay tinatangkilik din ng 21 pang kumpanya, kabilang ang dalawang local networks na TV5 at Solar Entertainment. Kasama rin ang Faulkner Media; CBN Asia; 13 advertising agencies at tatlong regional clients.

Samantala, tanging ang ABS-CBN lamang ang local major TV network ang napaulat na gumagamit sa Kantar Media, na dating kilala bilang TNS.

She added that if she crosses paths with those she has had a misunderstanding, she’s willing to say hi---that is, if they’re also open for reconciliation.

Recall that Heart’s relationship with her estranged manager Annabelle Rama ended on a sour note after the former did not renew her contract with the latter, a move which is alleged to have been initiated by the actress’ mom, Cecile Ongpauco, who also manages her career.

Another controversy that Heart got involved in was her happy-turned-sordid working relationship with Marian Rivera, one of her co-stars in the “Temptation Island” remake, who allegedly got irate after learning that the former would be working with the latter’s boyfriend, Dingdong Dantes.

Marian, meanwhile, had said beforehand that all was well between her and Heart until the infamous “airport incident” wherein Heart’s mother allegedly told her stay away from her daughter.

Interestingly, Heart’s next project with the Kapuso network, “Legacy,” would reunite her with her other “Temptation Island” co-stars and real-life friends, Lovi Poe and Solenn Heussaff, who both were inadvertently dragged into the Heart-Marian brouhaha.

"It never changed. Lovi and I had a great relationship. Si Solenn... we're all good. It's exciting to work with people na nakatrabaho mo dati, mga kaibigan mo pa," said Heart.

“Legacy” would also mark Heart’s reunion with Geoff Eigenmann, her leading man in the 2004 Kapamilya drama series, “Hiram.”

“...para makasama mo ‘yung nakatrabaho mo na dati, who you used to work with for a very long time... marami rin kaming nagawa together… and now, nakatrabaho ko siya ulit so it’s nice because I’m comfortable,” said Heart in an interview on “Balitanghali” last Sept. 30.

Fans of the love team apparently got a taste of their reunion with Heart and Geoff’s stint on “Spooky Nights Presents: Sapi.”

Under Viva, Heart is set to make three movies, one of which is a suspense-thriller which she would begin shooting in January 2012, as well as a return to the recording scene.

“So super from relaxed, ito hectic ulit. It’s going to be exciting. I love to work,” Heart enthused to “Balitanghali” in its Oct. 25 report.
