ProSieben's Promi Darts-WM Moves to Tuesday, New Venue
ProSieben announced that the next edition of its celebrity darts event, 'Promi Darts-WM', will air on Tuesday, January 5, 2027, a new timeslot, two days after the official darts World Championship final. The show will also move to a TV studio in Cologne-Mülheim for the first time, with production by Banijay Productions Germany. This follows a year in which the show was moved to a Sunday and suffered a ratings decline, dropping to a 10.8% market share among 14-49 year-olds and fewer than one million viewers. Returning hosts include Christian Düren as host and Elmar Paulke as commentator. The darts team of Jens 'Knossi' Knossalla and Michael 'Mighty Mike' van Gerwen will compete again.
A niche celebrity darts show moving timeslots and venue is a minor programming update in the German TV market, with no direct impact on advertising technology or broader industry trends.
