“Nord bei Nordwest” (ARD) against “Bergdoktor” (ZDF): Those were gripping ratings duels last year – which the first one was usually able to win. Also this year, the thriller set in the fictional Schwanitz is ahead. On Thursday evening, the new episode, directed by actor Hinnerk Schönemann for the first time, won the day with 7.96 million viewers – this corresponds to a market share of a whopping 28 percent.
However, the format owes this dream rate above all to the elderly. In the young target group of 14 to 49-year-olds, “Nord bei Nordwest: Auf der Flüche” recorded only 0.77 million viewers – but at 13.6 percent the market share here was decent.
ZDF was left behind in both groups with “Der Bergdoktor”: 5.40 million people tuned in to the new episode with Hans Sigl, including 0.62 million under the age of 50. The market shares were still more than satisfactory at 19 percent overall and 10.8 percent among younger people.
One station in particular suffered from the strong range of public service programs: Sat.1 started a new crime series on Thursday at 8:15 p.m. with “Biarritz – Mord am Meer”. But the start of the French production was disappointing: only 0.65 million viewers wanted to see the first episode. This corresponds to a market share of 2.5 percent. In the target group of 14 to 49-year-olds relevant to advertising for the private broadcaster, there were only 220,000 people.
The evening was much more enjoyable for the private broadcaster RTL, which presented the quiz show “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” against strong competition from fictional series material. had scheduled. A good decision: The episode running as part of “The 3 million euro week” attracted 3.49 million viewers (15.4 percent market share). In the young target group, the Cologne broadcaster even won the day with 0.87 million viewers and a market share of 18.1 percent.
