Overview

  • A repeat of the Zurich‑Krimi on Das Erste was the primetime and day leader, drawing 3.96 million viewers and a 20.9% market share in preliminary AGF SCOPE data for Friday.
  • ZDF’s live DFB‑Pokal match Rostock v. Stuttgart reached 2.64 million viewers overall and led the 14–49 demographic with about 560,000 viewers and a 19.5% share, a key metric for advertisers.
  • WDR’s live coverage of the Reit‑WM in Aachen averaged roughly 940,000 viewers and posted a 5.2% national share with a very strong 11.6% share inside the WDR broadcast region.
  • Sky’s pay‑TV DFB coverage produced modest audiences (conference 390,000; extended Mannheim–Kaiserslautern match 510,000) while several private channels struggled in primetime with around 410,000 viewers for ProSieben and Vox.
  • Preliminary AGF SCOPE figures show public broadcasters concentrated Friday’s audience so advertisers and programmers should watch demographic splits and regional events to gauge where younger viewers and local audiences are tuning in.
