It is absolutely no surprise: SBS 6 is already stopping its daily show GoedNieuws Today. The viewer at home is waiting for real news, and not journalists with rose-colored glasses.
SBS 6 stops: the plug is pulled out of GoedNieuws Today. The last episode is on December 22, just before Christmas. Afterwards, Lingo (6:00 PM) and 50/50 (6:30 PM) will be programmed again in the early evening. It’s quite painful, because the good news show hasn’t even run for three months.
No dog
No one really watched that good news show, so Raymond Mens, one of the experts, was already preparing for a TV exit. Sometimes there were only about 50,000 people in front of the TV. “With the program we have tried to offer an alternative to the fifty percent of Dutch people who do not follow the news or follow it less,” according to SBS 6.
A spokesperson for the channel continues A.D: “GoedNieuws Today brings news that is positive in tone and solution-oriented. By trying it, it now appears that the alternative in this form and at this time slot unfortunately does not work. Despite the enormous efforts of all colleagues involved.”
Talitha
The disappearance of the good news show also means that Talitha Muusse will disappear from the TV again. She was previously seen as a presenter of Op1, but was then fired. She then played a trick on Yvonne Coldeweijer under the banner of BNR Nieuwsradio, but it blew up in her own face.
Yvonne will not miss Talitha on television. “I think: what does Taliet have to contribute? No idea. I think it’s a bit like: why?”, she sneered earlier.
Sweethearts
Television expert Tina Nijkamp, the former channel boss of SBS 6, speaks of ‘the day you knew would come’. “I think it took a long time. Last week the show averaged 87,600 viewers. Depressingly little. It was already known before the start that this was going to be a huge failure.”
It is impossible to score with ‘a liflafjes news program’ against the Achuurjournaal and RTL Nieuws, says Tina. “It’s a very, very difficult ending. Everything at 6 p.m. fails on SBS 6. In 28 years, the only thing that has succeeded is: living (Huizenjacht).”
