Linear TV Ratings Market: New 'In aller Freundschaft' Episode Lifts German TV Ratings
After weeks of repeats, the German hospital series 'In aller Freundschaft' returned with a new episode on Das Erste, drawing 3.30 million viewers and a 16.0 percent market share. The repeat of 'Die Kanzlei' also performed strongly, reaching 3.63 million viewers and 17.7 percent. ZDF could not match overall but succeeded with younger audiences: its 'Besseresser' double bill achieved 9.4 and 14.4 percent market share among 14- to 49-year-olds, with the second episode watched by 530,000 viewers in that age group, even against the DFB-Pokal match on RTL.
