So different, and yet so close… The Audiovisual Public Service offered an eclectic TV evening on Saturday evening, with radically varied proposals: police suspense with an unpublished “Meurtres à Marie-Galante” on France 3, and the Rugby France match -Argentine on France 2. Result: the public was divided in almost the same proportions between the two programs which largely dominated the evening in terms of audiences.
It is the TV movie of the Three with Pascal Légitimus which wins by a short head, bringing together 4.3 million viewers for an audience share (PDA) of 21.4%.
Rugby on the Deux is just behind, followed by 4.2 million fans for a PDA of 21%.
The "Star Ac" in sharp decline
Suddenly, the flagship program of Saturday evening of TF 1, "Star Academy, we had said rendezvous in twenty years" paid the price for this domination of the public service.
While the anniversary party of the "Star Ac" had finished first last week with 4.1 million nostalgic, this time it must be content with third place on the podium, and far behind, with 3 million faithful and 17 , 7% PDA.
Another consequence of this beautiful evening for France 2 and France 3, which unites 8.5 million viewers alone, only one other channel except TF 1 manages to pass the million curious mark: M 6, with its American series " NCIS Los Angeles ”(1.3 million for 6.2% of PDA).
France 5 is still very close to approaching it, with 999,000 fans (4.8% PDA) of the magazine “Échappées belles”.
