TV boss Peter van der Vorst has to look at how Arjen Lubach hits the RTL 4 audience with his complicated VPRO guests. Does he already regret bringing in the satirist?
The figures, graphs, tables and analyzes of Tina Nijkamp show the clip and ready: when Arjen Lubach once again with such a complicated VPRO guest or non-fun again stand-up comedian comes on, the viewing figures always dive down like a spear. When he lets all those types show up? In the second part. And that is an outright disaster.
What does Peter think?
The RTL 4-viewer then zaps away and no longer lingers for Renze Klamer, who really experiences a lot of disadvantage of this. Stephen Fry, Stephanie Louwrier, Micha Wertheim, Stefan Pop, an Almere lady who can no longer talk Dutch after a few years in London: they provide a disastrous lead-in For Renze.
Is Peter van der Vorst, the boss of RTL 4, not that he brought in Arjen? It is known that Peter himself is very progressively oriented, but he also just has a commercial TV channel in Leiden.
Angela knows it
Angela de Jong knows what Peter thinks about it. She is asked about it last night by Wilfred Genee at the table Today Inside. “Does it fit together, do you find? RTL and Arjen Lubach?”
The Opinion Subject: “No, not at all.”
Wilfred: “I have that feeling too.”
Angela: “I had that from the start. I think he is a public broadcaster boy at all. The form of satire that he is working is really part of the public broadcaster, but yes, RTL did not think so.”
‘Peter is happy’
In the meantime, Angela knows that Peter loves that VPRO-WALM van Arjen smell wonderful. “I even understood that Peter van der Vorst was very happy when Stephen Fry was there.”
Wilfred bewildered: “Really?”
Angela: “Yes, I came to him by a day later and I said,” Do you already regret giving him a free hand? ” No, he thought it was fantastic that it was possible at RTL nowadays. “
On the sleeve
Albert Verlinde thinks it was a politically correct answer. “Yes, it’s hard to say to you,” No, I regret that! “
Angela: “I think so, but yes, I didn’t get the impression that he was trying to pin me something on the sleeve. I think he really meant that.”
Albert thinks Peter is disappointed by the disappointing viewing figures. “I think they expected that they would have 900 thousand viewers deemed regular with 1.5 million every night. And that doesn’t work.”
Mining
It is indeed not good, says Angela. “I see in those minutes counts that at the end they really have very few viewers and of course they are disappointed by Beau and Renze and what is behind it. It is also not really a program that is very nice in that RTL-through-viewing evening.”
Johan Derksen would rather look at here. “I like that more than Lubach. I have never been able to laugh at him.”
