Tele 5 Posts Decade-High Day Market Share
Tele 5 recorded a 2.4% daily market share among viewers aged 14–49 on Tuesday, its strongest value since at least 2016 and roughly three times its May average. Programming that contributed included the film Die Noobs, a late-prime showing of The Call (which reached 4.5% in the 14–49 demo), Doctor Who (3.8%) and Star Trek: The Next Generation (up to 2.9% in the target group). The result gave Tele 5 ninth place in the channel ranking for the day. ProSieben Maxx also had a strong day (2.2% in 14–49), while ZDFneo delivered high overall reach with 1.12 million viewers for a Helen Dorn crime drama. All audience figures are based on AGF SCOPE (AGF Videoforschung) preliminary weighted data. The article was published by DWDL.de on 2026-06-17 and written by Uwe Mantel.
A small linear broadcaster posting an unusually high youth-market share may create short-term incremental ad inventory and planning implications for buyers and sellers, but it is not industry-shifting.
