Stefan Raab won with “You don’t win the million” against his former house broadcaster, but is conquered by a cult show.
On Wednesday, February 13th, at 8:15 p.m., the broadcasters climbed into the ring and asked for the German spectators: inside. The free TV premiere of Stefan Raab’s comedy game show “You don’t win the millions here” surprised and quickly got 15.5 percent of the market share.
The concept of the show is simple: the participants: inside must assert themselves against Raab in the form of quiz questions and duels. You can only win if all questions are answered correctly. In addition, you also have to prevail against the TV legend at the challenges. The winner awaits a full prize money of one million euros.
The comedic Raab show was previously only seen on RTL+. Now the games show also made it into free TV and attracted around 800,000 spectators at its first edition: inside the age of 14 to 49 to the private broadcaster. With the well-rehearsed market share, Raab also easily put the free TV premiere of “Mission: Impossible-Dead Reckoning (1)” in the pocket that ran on ProSieben on Wednesday evening (instead of “TV Total”!). This achieved a lean market share of only 7.9 percent.
Raab’s show could not defeat this show
In the end, the ZDF program “file number XY” was the “Aktenichen XY” compared to “you don’t win the million”. More than a million people looked at the Eternal ZDF classic and thus gave the broadcaster a market share of 19.9 percent.
“File number XY” has been on the air for more than 50 years and something like the great-grandmother of all true crime formats. With the help of the spectators, the search program is used to try to uncover unsolved criminal cases and thus support the police. As “Prisma” reports, after the broadcast of “file number XY”, around 50 percent of the cases taken up by the show were solved by information from fans.
