Wendy van Dijk has been stringing together flops on television for years, but according to Weekend she does not have to fear that she will lose her contract with SBS 6. “As long as Erland Galjaard is there, she will also stay there.”
The stable of SBS 6 presenters is becoming increasingly empty now that the contracts of Jeroen van der Boom and Patty Brard are not being extended. But what about Wendy van Dijk? Is it allowed to stay that way while she invariably scores dredging figures? According to the Weekend tabloid, yes.
Dead end
There’s no denying that Wendy is a ratings drama these days, according to Weekend. “The switch to SBS 6 has not done Wendy van Dijk any good. Although not everything she did was successful at RTL 4, it is a drama at John de Mol’s channel.”
At the moment Wendy is on the tube with her umpteenth flop, namely Song On The First Face. “With a whole series of flopped programs to her name, the question is whether Wendy is still such a big TV star.”
No TV gun
In any case, they can no longer be called a viewing figure gun, according to the magazine. “Wendy’s TV contract with SBS 6 runs until 2024. The question is what will happen then, because John de Mol needs gilt-edged viewing figures and Wendy does not seem to be able to deliver that to date.”
However, everything seems to point in one direction. “In the background it remains important that Wendy’s husband Erland Galjaard, the former program director of RTL, fulfills an important position at SBS 6. As long as he is there, his wife will probably never be fired.”
