With just under 345,000 viewers, the program reached a major viewership low – and De Piano did not score well. “This talent show provides the lowest primetime RTL 4 score since Samen Uit, Samen Thuis,” writes Tina. “And very painfully, De Piano has been overtaken by almost all channels in 20-45 years (that is the market share in the most important commercial target group, ed.).” The program had a difficult start from the start. Viewers were left disappointed when they saw that the pianists had to play for television and were not filmed with hidden cameras.
Where have the viewers gone?
While the disappointing performance of The piano attracted attention, it was also time for the annual TV event Musical Awards. Although the Musical Awards always guarantee an evening full of spectacle and talent, viewers did not enjoy the opening number very much. And the number of viewers remained remarkably low this year. With only 763,000 viewers, almost the same as last year. The award show could not compete with the impressive viewing figures Sisters, which attracted more than a million viewers last week. This raised the question for Tina: “Where have the 400,000 more viewers Zussen had gone?”
