Overview

• RTL cleared its Friday afternoon lineup for Germany’s EuroBasket semifinal against Finland, starting coverage at 15:30 for a 16:00 tip-off.
• Five programs were dropped that afternoon: Barbara Salesch – Das Strafgericht, Ulrich Wetzel – Das Strafgericht, Der Blaulicht Report – Die neuen Einsätze, Unter uns and Explosiv – Das Magazin.
• The Unter uns episode (Folge 7705) is available on RTL+ and will re-air free-to-air on Monday at 9:30, with RTL aiming to resume regular programming around 18:30 on Friday with Exclusiv – Das Starmagazin.
• Strong viewership underpins the changes: the Slovenia quarterfinal drew up to about 3.94 million viewers on RTL, and the Finland semifinal reached roughly 2.93 million despite the early start.
• For Sunday’s final against Turkey, RTL begins coverage at 19:05 with tip-off at 20:00, and planned NFL broadcasts shift to Nitro as the network prioritizes the national team’s run.
