RTLzwei has been producing new editions of “X-Factor: The Unfathomable” for several years now. On Friday evening, two of these episodes, moderated by Jonathan Frakes, were shown on the station – and the success proves those responsible are right. 660,000 viewers watched during prime time, with a strong 6.0 and 6.5 percent market share among young audiences between 14 and 49 years old.
And old “X-Factor” episodes also achieved high ratings in daytime with up to 7.2 percent. RTLzwei, on the other hand, experienced a setback late in the evening, where the last season of “The Walking Dead” is currently coming to an end on free TV with a long delay. However, two episodes ended up with only 3.5 and 2.5 percent market share. In the end, however, we achieved a good daily market share of 5.6 percent.
This put RTLzwei ahead of Vox, which had to make do with just 5.5 percent on the public holiday. In prime time, “Goodbye Germany” achieved 860,000 total viewers, but only had a 5.6 percent market share in the classic target group. “The Commuter” later even fell to 4.0 percent and there were also some problems in daytime, when they relied on the regular program.
Still behind RTLzwei and Vox on Friday was Kabel Eins, for which the 5.3 percent daily market share achieved is still a success. This is mainly thanks to the strong daytime: “Shrek 2” had an 8.4 percent market share in the afternoon and “Shrek the Third” even increased to 8.7 percent afterwards. “Germany's most spectacular criminal cases” only entertained 500,000 people in the evening, which corresponded to 3.1 percent.
