Catch Us ProSieben ratings Andrea Kiewel show, Digi Mart USA News: ProSieben broadcast a new show on Tuesday evening called “Catch Us,” featuring Chris Tall, Jenke von Wilmsdorff and Andrea Kiewel. The broadcaster had placed high hopes in the elaborate format, which tests whether three TV stars can stay hidden in major European cities for five days.
The stars must complete tasks designed to draw them out of hiding. Steven Gätjen hosts the program, while hunters travel by boat, train and other means of transport to track down Andrea Kiewel, Chris Tall, Jenke von Wilmsdorff and his son Jánik.
Despite the spectacular concept, viewers showed little interest. On average, only about 420,000 people watched the premiere episode, fewer than half the roughly 900,000 who had tuned in to TV Total earlier, when Sebastian Pufpaff hosted.
TV Total performed strongly on Tuesday evening, reaching a 13.1 percent market share among the core target audience. The share dropped considerably with the switch to Catch Us.
At nine percent, it still exceeded the ProSieben channel average, but the premiere ran until 11:25 p.m., a late timeslot that artificially inflated the figure.
Starting Wednesday, the situation changes: Catch Us begins at 8:15 p.m., without TV Total as a lead-in and against stronger competition. RTL is airing an “Inside Aldi” documentary in the evening, and Sat.1 is broadcasting the cooking show “The Taste.” On ARD and ZDF, the mystery series “Wäldern” and a special edition of the ratings staple “Bares für Rares” are scheduled.
