“Le Voyageur” on France 3 crushes the audience charts. Saturday evening, the French detective fiction embodied by Bruno Debrandt, accompanied as always by his faithful dog Miko, set the stage. The unique episode brought together no less than 4.92 million curious people, or 27.7% of the entire public, a real hit. In January, the previously unreleased broadcast attracted 4.88 million fans, for an audience share (PDA) of 23.8%.
On the second step of the podium, we find the “Star Academy” of TF 1, back in its usual Saturday evening slot after having left it last week due to rugby. The musical show dedicated to Grégory Lemarchal moved 2.90 million viewers until more than midnight, or 19.8% of the entire public. Remaining excellent, the market share in the commercial target of Women responsible for purchases under the age of fifty (FRDA-50) stands at 36.7%, allowing the chain to be a very large leader in this indicator.
The other channels are suffering. On France 2, Laurence Boccolini celebrated the 30th anniversary of his Sunday program, “Children of TV”. Accompanied by Élie Semoun, Hélène Ségara and Michèle Bernier, the host entertained 1.55 million fans, or 9.5% of the public.
At the foot of the podium, France 5 points its nose rather than M 6. Its indestructible discovery magazine, “Échappées belles”, devoted Saturday evening to a getaway to Dijon (Côte-d'Or), attracted 941,000 travelers for 5, 3% PDA. Scores up compared to last week (673,000, 3.4%), when the program was opposed to the France/New Zealand steamroller on TF 1.
M 6 is in great pain with “Code Quantum”, a reboot of the famous American series with Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell. Their heirs did not experience the same success since only 621,000 fans followed the two new episodes of their adventures on Saturday evening. This represents 3.6% of the entire public, while the market share on FRDA-50 is 6.9%. A score barely above that of “Columbo” on TMC and its 617,000 fans (3.6%).
