Overview
- On Pentecost Sunday broadcasters’ holiday scheduling put ARD’s Tatort repeat in first place with 3.38 million viewers and an 18.6% share, according to AGF preliminary data.
- RTL’s Wer wird Millionär Zocker‑Special with Günther Jauch drew about 2.5 million viewers and led the target groups with 15.0% in 14–49 and 13.4% in 14–59, making it the top show in commercial demos.
- Sat.1’s free‑TV premiere of Alles steht Kopf 2 delivered strong performance among 14–49-year-olds (0.39 million; 14.6% share) but had weaker reach with older viewers and a modest total audience of 0.82 million.
- Smaller channels boosted their day shares by programming to niche audiences: 3sat posted its best day of the year with a 3.0% daily share using 1960s classics, while Sat.1 Gold reached 3.8% driven by morning court shows.
- Overall TV usage was lower because of warm weather, so relative demo and day‑share strengths mattered more for advertisers and channel strategy than raw reach, reinforcing broadcasters’ habit of using repeats and event premieres on public holidays.
