RTL’s ‘7 Richtige’ Slumps in Week Two as ‘Wer Wird Millionär?’ Nears Return

About 1.15 million viewers at roughly a 5.5 percent share signal a weak reception for the two-episode test.

Overview

  • The second installment on 8 September drew about 1.15 million viewers, more than 100,000 fewer than the already soft premiere, according to DWDL figures.
  • Overall market share was roughly 5.5 percent, with 5.4–5.5 percent in the 14–49 and 14–59 cohorts, down from just over six percent among key targets in week one.
  • Coverage from multiple outlets characterized the short run as a flop and questioned its effectiveness as a summer replacement.
  • RTL scheduled only two episodes and plans to bring Wer wird Millionär? with Günther Jauch back on 15 September.
  • Hosted by Steffen Hallaschka, the seven-player quiz offers up to €100,000 and premiered early on RTL+, yet viewership sagged as ProSieben reported gains for its Monday shows.
