Not a bad result for the show dinosaur “Wetten,dass..?”, which came in second in the annual television ranking. The winner is an old friend from Westphalia.
Frankfurt.
An ARD “Tatort” episode from Münster with Commissioner Frank Thiel (Axel Prahl) and Professor Karl-Friedrich Boerne (Jan Josef Liefers) topped the TV ratings comparison last year. An average of 13.93 million viewers aged three and over saw the episode “MagicMom” on the first in March (market share 40.5 percent), as AGF Videoforschung, which measures the usage of most TV channels in Germany, announced in Frankfurt am Main.
The crime thriller, produced by the public broadcaster Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR), was about the death of an influencer who, as “MagicMom”, documented her luxurious everyday life with her husband and children and thus attracted hatred.
The ZDF show classic “Wetten,dass..?”, which was broadcast on a Saturday evening at the end of November from Offenburg, came in second. Thomas Gottschalk hosted the show for the last time. 12.89 million (45.8 percent market share) wanted to see the show, which was produced once in 2023.
ZDF has not yet decided publicly whether “Wetten,dass..?” will have a future. The public broadcaster in Mainz stopped the classic show, which started in the 1980s, in 2014 due to falling ratings. There was a retro show in 2021, followed by two further editions in 2022 and November 2023.
ZDF director Norbert Himmler recently told the German Press Agency about the broadcast at the end of November: “That was a big, nostalgic moment that we experienced there. It showed the strength and power of the format once again. Now Let’s take a pause for thought, based on the James Bond title: “Never say never.” According to AGF Videoforschung, the ZDF show was even the most successful program in the ratings ranking among younger audiences (14 to 49 years old).
The Münster “Tatort” once again landed in third place among the overall audience aged three and over. The episode “The Man Who Fell into the Jungle” was seen by 11.61 million viewers (37.7 percent) in December. (dpa)
