RTL2 defies competition: Hartz and warmly convinces despite weak quotas!

RTL2 remains the focus of the audience, despite hard competition in prime time. On Tuesday evening, December 3, the broadcaster broadcast two new episodes that addressed the realities of life of people in Trier-West. According to Berlin Live , the episodes reached 0.45 and 0.32 million viewers, with market shares of 3.4 and 2.9 percent. In a weekly TV environment, in which football games also influence the ratings, RTL2 has to struggle with these numbers. Football indicates the tone and leaves little space to other formats.

unbroken popularity despite challenges

The show is known for its genuine insight into the living conditions of the people affected by poverty, attracting a loyal fan base. In comparison, the entertaining prosieben format "Joko & Klaas against ProSieben" had massive quota losses on the same evening and reached the worst figures for five years with only 850,000 spectators. This shows that the spectators are still very interested in authentic stories, while the entertainment show loses popularity.

in the trend of German television, RTL has ahead with a viewer share of around ten percent in the age group of 149-year-olds, as reported Statista . Despite falling overall, RTL remains the most viewed private broadcaster in Germany, especially thanks to stable formats such as "Who will be a millionaire?" And "Germany is looking for the superstar". "Hartz and warmly" is part of a portfolio of popular formats that has been successful in recent years.
