SBS 6 is experiencing an absolutely dramatic weekend. The new season of the Gordon show 5 Against 5 got off to a bad start on Friday and Samantha Steenwijk scored badly again on Saturday.
At Talpa, almost the entire star stable is oxygenated. Only Today Inside, the Meilandjes and the Gillis family still manage to score decent viewing figures, but otherwise the poverty is what RTL is so eager to take over. Flagship SBS 6 is currently experiencing another dramatic weekend with poor scores on both Friday and Saturday.
Gordon scores badly
The new season of Gordon’s 5 Against 5 started on Friday evening with only 210 thousand viewers (5% market share) on SBS 6, not enough for a place in the top 25 viewership. For that, at least 283 thousand were needed. “Gordon would have imagined his TV comeback differently,” said Televizier journalist Jef Willemsen.
Jef speaks of ‘astonishingly low viewing figures’ for Gordon. On Friday evening he competed with NPO 1’s Tweede Hans (974 thousand and 24%), NPO 3’s report of the women’s match England – Netherlands (695 thousand and 19%) and RTL 4’s Blow Up (628 thousand and 17%). Droomhuis Gezocht scored 819 thousand viewers on Friday (23%).
Samantha disappoints
A day later, on Saturday, SBS 6 again disappoints with the Samantha Steenwijk show De Hollandse Nieuwe, in which Danny de Munk, who was accused of rape, also played a major role. 367 thousand viewers (10%) watched it.
The primetime winners on Saturday were NPO 1’s Ik Vertrek: Even Weg (1 million and 26%), NPO 1’s The Connection (1 million and 26%), RTL 4’s 1 Percent Quiz (641 thousand and 18%) and RTL 4’s Domino Challenge ( 589 thousand and 15%). SBS 6 did score well with The Hunting Season (507 thousand and 13%).
