Nadia Moussaid is completely upset because the NPO has relegated her to the third network. Is she now looking for Eva Jinek’s successor at RTL 4? No, she doesn’t want that…
Khalid & Sophie has the sole empire this television season: the program is currently the only seven-hour title of NPO 1. Nadia Moussaid and her ordinary people talk show of the same name have been relegated to NPO 3. No longer every day for the Achuurjournaal, but tucked away somewhere on the late Sunday evening, at 9:50 PM.
Super disappointed
Nadia is really pissed off, she shows Het Parool. “I won’t lie: I’m just sad that we were moved. On NPO 1 you simply have more reach. I was super disappointed when I heard it. I don’t agree either. This program deserves a place on NPO 1.”
Not only has it been relegated to a poorly viewed channel, the number of episodes has also been reduced from five to one per week. So on a late Sunday evening. “At that time there was no room left on NPO 1. Then you can complain a lot, but this season we just don’t fit in.”
‘I want to go back!’
Doesn’t Nadia understand that they don’t want her on NPO 1 anymore? Her ratings were abysmal. “They weren’t that bad, you know. Of course we didn’t have an audience of millions, but I still think about 400,000 viewers is a lot. Especially in a calm part of the TV season.”
She continues to believe in her regular people talk show. “I really think things are going to turn around. Don’t people sometimes want something other than the regular round? There is so much criticism of the media in which people do not feel heard. We are really doing everything we can to involve that group.”
To RTL 4?
All in all, there is a lot of dissatisfaction in Nadia. And dissatisfaction often leads to all kinds of things. Is she secretly applying for the position left by Eva Jinek at RTL 4?
No, she doesn’t want that. “Haha. I am and will remain with the NPO. For me it’s about impact and content, not about viewing figures. Of course I want people to look at me, but that is never the main motive for me.”
