Quotes: “Who’s stealing my show?” Leaves NFL and “Grill den Henssler” no chance – ARD and ZDF convince with “Tatort”

Last night, the ProSieben hit format “Who’s stealing my show?” has already started its eighth season – and was immediately able to impress with its ratings: 970,000 14- to 49-year-old viewers from the advertising-relevant target group gave the Munich broadcaster an outstanding 21.0 percent market share. The older audience, however, stayed away from Joko Winterscheidt’s show: with 1.30 million viewers in total, the total reach was lower than ever since the change from Tuesday to Sunday evening. Accordingly, only 6.2 percent jumped out here. With its focus on the young target group, however, ProSieben will be in trouble.

Opposite the competitor VOX, Steffen Henssler reported with the first edition of this year’s “Grill den Henssler” summer specials. Although these were watched by a solid 1.14 million viewers, the cooking game show had no chance against “Who’s stealing my show?” in the young target group and only achieved a mediocre 6.0 percent market share.

Difficult times could come again on RTL on Sunday evening. Because while the start of the new While the NFL season was good for strong quotes on the night from Thursday to Friday, things looked very different yesterday at prime time. The first game between the Minnesota Vikings and the New York Giants was watched by only between 630,000 and 570,000 football fans after 7 p.m. The target group market share was from the beginning at 8.4 to a disappointing 5.4 percent. The subsequent party between the Washington Commanders and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers then fell to between 530,000 and 230,000 viewers, but thanks to the later broadcast time was able to save itself with target group values ​​between 7.3 and 8.1 percent – although these were also significantly below the RTL channel average. A year ago, RTL managed to achieve double-digit market shares with the first football broadcasts.

Sat.1, among others, benefited from RTL’s weakness, where the sci-fi film “Independence Day: Resurgence” attracted 1.68 million viewers and achieved an above-average 9.6 percent market share in the young target group. In contrast, there was little to gain for sister channel Kabel Eins, where “The Germans’ Favorite Brands” again failed to reach the top with 540,000 viewers and only a 3.4 percent market share in the target group. RTL Zwei fared little better, where the The 2005 film adaptation of “King Kong” attracted 500,000 viewers and received 3.5 percent of the audience.

As usual, the public broadcasters were operating in completely different dimensions of reach. The 8 p.m. “Tagesschau” was the most watched program of the day with 5.93 million viewers and a 24.4 percent market share and also won the day in the young target group with 1.14 million 14- to 49-year-olds and 23.3 percent. For the After that, 5.83 million people stayed tuned to “Tatort” with a strong 22.7 percent – ​​even though it was only a repeat episode from 2022. The crime series also garnered a more than respectable 13.4 percent among young audiences. “Caren Miosga” with BSW chairwoman Sahra Wagenknecht as the main guest had 2.64 million viewers at 12.8 percent from 9.45 p.m. However, the young audience largely stayed away from the political talk show: 290,000 14- to 49-year-olds were enough for 6.3 percent.

Strong quotes also come from ZDF, and already the evening before: The first episode of the new “Terra X” documentary series “World Cities” about New York reached 3.53 million viewers at 7.30 p.m., with 16.1 percent overall and 11.5 percent in the young target group. A repeat of the popular series “Frühling” then increased from 8:15 p.m. to 3.81 million viewers at 14.8 percent – ​​​​however, the young audience was largely elsewhere: 5.0 percent remained for the Mainzers.
