'Promi Taste' Recovers but Remains Unremarkable
The Sat.1 celebrity cooking show "Promi Taste" improved its audience in its fourth episode but remains below breakout performance, reaching 770,000 total viewers and 220,000 viewers aged 14–49 (6.8% market share). DWDL's ratings roundup for April 29, 2026, also reports Vox's new season opener "Doc Caro - Leben hautnah" at 770,000 viewers and 6.3% among 14–49, with the follow-up program "110 im Dauereinsatz" climbing to 8.6%. RTLzwei's "Kampf der Realitystars" drew modest 14–49 shares (3.8% and 4.2%), while Kabel Eins' film "Operation Walküre" achieved 5.5% (14–49) with ~750,000 viewers. ZDFneo led among linear channels in total reach with shows peaking at 1.43 million viewers.
Routine linear-TV audience and market-share figures: useful for media planning and scheduling but not strategically transformative for the wider AdTech industry.
