The season premiere of Farmer Seeks Woman pulverizes the programs of Chantal Janzen and Wendy van Dijk. The TV ladies are taking losses of 29 and 44 percent respectively.
It is still the big stunner of the public broadcaster: Boer Searches Woman. The new season finally started yesterday and there were no fewer than 2.8 million viewers (47% market share). For many people, the dating show of NPO 1 is carefree television in times of war and the threat of war.
Chantal and Wendy
The return of Farmer Wants Woman is a sledgehammer blow for Chantal Janzen and Wendy van Dijk, because they see their viewing figures plummet. Chantal’s show Beat the Champions goes from 1.1 million to 787 thousand viewers (-29 percent) and Wendy’s show Wie van de Drie goes from 821 thousand to 459 thousand viewers (-44 percent).
Tom Egbers sat between Chantal (RTL 4) and Wendy (SBS 6). He managed to entertain 626 thousand viewers (10%) on NPO 2 with his Toms Scotland program.
During the second half of prime time, Project Rembrandt scored best with 1.2 million viewers on NPO 1. In contrast, Humberto had 762 thousand viewers and Nieuwsuur reached 726 thousand viewers.
Viewing figures
Programs that did not reach the top fifteen viewing figures include vtwonen (559 thousand), WNL on Sunday (555 thousand), Hart van Nederland (468 thousand) and Shownieuws (426 thousand).
