“Let’s Dance”, “Kiwi’s Big Party Night” and more: Who won the big ratings battle on Friday evening?
While 14 celebrities and their dance partners gave their best on the dance floor in “Let’s Dance” on Friday evening (March 1st), the RTL program was competing in the ratings against “Kiwi’s big party night” on Sat.1 as well as feature films on ProSieben and on RTLzwei. There was a clear odds winner.
A total of 3.86 million viewers tuned in according to AGF video research in the cut to be the first regular decision show of the 17th season of “Let’s Dance” (also on RTL+) to see. In the target group of 14 to 49 year olds, RTL achieved a market share of 24.4 percent and is by far the most successful private broadcaster of the evening.
Kiwi can’t score points with her “party night”.
Andrea Kiewel (58) had no chance with her last “party night” on Sat.1 in the duel with the RTL dance show: just 710,000 viewers were able to get excited about the show from 8:15 p.m. – that was in the target group Market share is only 3.2 percent.
Although ProSieben featured the world’s most prominent secret agent and showed the more than 50-year-old 007 film “Diamond Fever”, it ultimately did not achieve a market share of 6.4 percent among 14 to 49 year olds. RTLzwei achieved a 6.9 percent market share with two films from the “Bad Boys” series.
ZDF series is the clear winner among the overall audience
However, “Let’s Dance” didn’t fare against the public broadcaster’s program – at least with the general audience. The clear ratings winner of the evening was “The Public Prosecutor” on ZDF with 5.69 million viewers and a market share of 22.2 percent, compared to “Let’s Dance” with 18.3 percent. However, the crime series only made it to ninth place among 14 to 49 year olds.
