Wilfred Genee receives strong criticism of the Monday broadcast of Today Inside. Yesterday’s show was very much about football. “It is soporific with Valentijn Driessen!”
Since Johan Derksen was completely done talking about football, the plug was pulled from Veronica Inside at the end of last year. He and his colleagues are now back with the daily Today Inside, which should be about current affairs with the occasional touch of football. But with some guests at the table it sometimes becomes a lot of sport.
Sleep inducing
Yesterday it was Telegraaf sports journalist Valentijn Driessen who joined as a guest and presenter Wilfred Genee gave a lot of incentives to talk about football, viewers complain. They believe that the gentlemen should leave the football analyzes to Veronica Offside, so that they can talk about more accessible topics themselves.
Story boss Guido den Aantrekker is one of the disappointed viewers. He thinks it is really unacceptably boring at Valentine’s Day. “Pff, Today Inside is always sleep-inducing when that Telegraafguy is there,” he tweeted.
Unbelievable
Media expert Willem-Albert Bol agrees with him. “Not only sleep-inducing, but above all unbelievable. Valentijn Driessen has fallen through the football basket for a few years now. Telegraaf-unworthy… They had greatness Jaap de Groot before.”
One Chris thinks that the VI trio should not stray too much. “Do not understand that it is now also about football, they now have Veronica Offside for that. Had expected that they would (almost) stop covering football and discuss the other topics more.”
VI at the top
Despite the disappointed viewers, Today Inside did achieve a good score with 787 thousand viewers (20 percent market share) on SBS 6. In fact, it is the best score of this brand new season so far. No other program did better at half past nine.
The most viewed alternatives were Het Familiediner with 774 thousand viewers on NPO 1, Nieuwsuur with 722 thousand viewers on NPO 2 and Married At First Sight: Match or Mistake with 366 thousand viewers on RTL 4.
