Evert Santegoeds thinks it faints that Gordon faints the criticism of the fallen listening figures of Radio 10. “It’s just very striking that those numbers are so low and that it scores less.”
The listening figures of Radio 10 have fallen sharply since Gordon and Froukje de Both make the morning show there. The Talpa channel has fallen from the sixth to the tenth radio station in the Netherlands in a few weeks. However, Goor finds the criticism wrong, because radio is known as Slow business: “Very bland! That’s just really bland.”
Faint
One of the critics is Jordi Versteegden, media reporter of De Telegraaf. He even drawn the comparison with the large television walk RTL Tonight. “Is there also hope for Gordon? Because he mentions the criticism of his low listening figures. I have said something about it, among other things. How do you look at that?”, The journalist in his podcast asks Strictly private.
Co-host Evert Santegoeds on that: “Well, I find that faint to say that. It is just very striking that those figures are so low and that he scored less than his predecessor Lex Gaarthuis. You have to imagine if he suddenly had a million listeners and how he would communicate that.”
Bit crazy
Then Gordon would scream that of the rooftops, Jordi thinks. “I think with a vlog and a review about his own …”
Evert breaks in: “Yes, that would be the whole of the Netherlands and everywhere he would say that he has a million listeners every day. Now it is disappointing and then we should not report that? No, that’s a bit crazy.”
Jordi: “Because Radio 10 is currently also in place ten in the listening figures and that is simply not what it has been. Do you not think that John de Mol already regrets?”
Bond with John
Evert wonders how John looks at this. “That bond between Gordon and John is something very special. Gordon left Talpa, the flag went out of him and he would be happy if his contract had ended. Well, at Talpa the flag also went out I believe then, and a year later it all sits together to draw contracts for beautiful amounts at the table.”
Jordi: “Yes, five tons, hey, are we talking about, isn’t Gordon?”
Evert: “Yes, those are considerable amounts and Gordon will get out of bed for that. But how long? I don’t know.”
“I just stay”
Jordi thinks Gordon does not just give up that salary. “Don’t you think, precisely because he deserves so much that he has something like: dude, I just stay?”
Evert concludes: “Well, it is not Gordon to settle for every day that criticism and every day that nagging. He thinks it is faint, so it seems to me the prelude to: well, it is all so faint, it is all so disappointing, I will stop it. But yes, that will cost him a lot of money and I don’t know if he can still permanently permit that.”
