The reason Eva Jinek gives for her decreased viewing figures is not entirely valid, says Jordi Versteegden. The reporter of De Telegraaf: “She really needs to scratch her head.”
Eva Jinek states that her lower viewing figures are related to the decreased linear viewing time and the increasing popularity of streaming services, but how is it possible that her competitor Today Inside does score like a charm? Does Eva only suffer from external influences or is it time for a hand in her own bosom?
Scratch behind ears
Jordi Versteegden, star reporter for De Telegraaf, thinks the latter. He says in one video on the newspaper site: “I find it striking that Eva Jinek tells RTL Boulevard that her viewing figures have fallen because more people are watching streaming services. “Me too,” she said.
He continues: “But if you see that the men of VI do score a million every night with a talk show, then she must also scratch her head that it is not only due to streaming services, but perhaps also due to the recipe .”
Loyal buddy
Eva is just no longer the face of the late evening, Jordi thinks. “She is not there every night, is she, she is there for eight weeks and then there is another presenter and then another presenter. So I think the viewer just needs a loyal buddy every night and she just hasn’t been that for a long time.
Colleague Karlijn Bernoster: “A buddy you can say anything to.”
Jordan: “Exactly. can give an opinion.”
Karlijn: “That’s it, yes.”
Familiarity
Why is Today Inside a big hit with almost a million viewers every day? “It is incredibly clever how they have boxed that together. I think that familiarity. They are there all year round. It is actually a pub where you really want to be a regular because you are curious about the opinion of your friends.”
He concludes: “You can now call them friends if you watch them every night. I think that is the recipe for why they are scoring so well at the moment.”
