Stefan Raab’s RTL Show Crashes in Week Two as Network Pulls Next Wednesday Slot

Günther Jauch’s Wer wird Millionär? steps in after AGF data showed the audience halved in the 14–49 demographic.

Overview

  • AGF figures show the second regular episode drew about 660,000 viewers for a 3.0% overall share and just 6.8% among 14–49-year-olds, roughly 280,000 viewers, with 5.0% in the 14–59 group.
  • Compared with the Sept. 24 premiere, the share in the 14–49 audience fell from 12.5% to 6.8%, losing roughly half of its young viewers in a week.
  • Rivals dominated the slot: Vox’s Stern TV Reportage led younger viewers with 12.3% (about 0.49 million), ZDF’s Jan Böhmermann posted 10.8% (about 0.44 million), and Vox’s Das perfekte Dinner drew 950,000 earlier in the evening.
  • RTL will preempt the show on Oct. 8 for Wer wird Millionär?’s 3‑million‑euro event week hosted by Günther Jauch.
  • RTL content chief Inga Leschek signaled changes by saying the current quiz/game/comedy mix is not convincing linear TV audiences, with ratings reported from AGF measurements.
