Quota alarm: Bauer sucht Frau reaches deep stand despite the RTL success!

In the world of reality TV formats, the dome show "Bauer sucht Frau" by Inka Bause has become an integral part, but it is currently facing a serious challenge: the odds have fallen to a low point. Like Berlin Live , only 2.86 million viewers switched on on Monday, December 9th, which could be the lowest reach of the current season. This is a clear decline that is due to a hard competition in Prime Time.

While "Bauer is still looking for a woman" with a market share of 11 percent is still above the usual RTL broadcaster, the competition, especially the first, has attracted the viewers' attention with a documentary about Hape Kerkeling. Kerkeling reached an impressive market share of 19 percent among the young audience, which meant that "Bauer sucht Frau" fell to only 9.2 percent for the 14- to 49-year-olds. This is the first time this year that the format slips into the single -digit range.

market shares in TV

The spectator market shares of the TV channels show an intensive competition in November 2024. Various formats were affected: "TV Total - but with a guest" was able to stay stable with a market share of 8.2 percent, while "Chris you do that?" fell to 6.8 percent. Even RTL2 recorded a disappointing evening with "Man Savator", which only attracted 320,000 spectators and achieved a market share of lean 2.8 percent, as in the statistics of Statista given. The demand for fresh, entertaining content remains high, and the audience increasingly opt for programs that offer them more.
