The choice of Mark Rutte to award an exclusive one-on-one interview to Sven Kockelmann, his direct competitor Eva Jinek resulted in a considerable defeat in the viewership yesterday.
The talk show Op1 yesterday had a special live broadcast from the Catshuis, where presenter Sven Kockelmann had a solo conversation with the Prime Minister for an hour. The Op1 Catshuis special was by far the most watched talk show of the evening with 959 thousand viewers (34 percent market share).
Jinek stays behind
Eva Jinek could not compete with Sven’s interview with the prime minister. She caught on at 632 thousand viewers (18 percent), not enough for a place in the top 15 viewership. “She is lagging far behind”, says viewing figure expert Tina Nijkamp. She also points to the market shares in the commercial target group: Op1 recorded 24 percent and Eva 17 percent.
The comic preview of the big interview with Rutte in the evening show by Arjen Lubach attracted even more attention. His program set a season record with almost 1.3 million viewers (30 percent).

The other most watched prime-time titles were SBS 6’s Chateau Meiland (917 thousand and 16 percent), RTL 4’s Expedition Robinson (842 thousand and 16 percent) and SBS 6’s Today Inside (776 thousand and 16 percent).
