Raab Show Loses 45% Streaming Net Reach
AGF measurements show Stefan Raab’s new RTL+ show "Du gewinnst hier nicht die Million" fell from a streaming net reach of 790,000 in week 1 to 430,000 in week 2, a decline of about 45%. The drop pushed the program brand from 3rd to 9th place in AGF’s weekly Programmmarken streaming ranking. AGF’s Programmmarken figures count anyone who watched at least one second of a brand and report only on publishers’ own platforms (excluding third‑party platforms like YouTube, Instagram and TikTok). RTL CCO Inga Leschek defended the format, noting continued new subscriber signups and ongoing engagement on RTL+. The AGF charts also show other shifts: Tagesschau led streaming reach (1.28 million) while The Voice of Germany rose strongly to 0.39 million viewers.
Weekly AGF Programmmarken streaming figures inform advertiser planning and publisher rankings for streaming inventory, but this single-title reach decline is not industry‑shifting.
