The good move of TF 1 paid off. Audience card Wednesday night for the front page with the second semi-final of the Champions League between Olympique Lyonnais and Bayern Munich, a match that she bought from RMC Sport last week, just after the qualification of the Lyonnais . Despite the rapid domination of the German club (which won 3-0), 6.68 million football fans followed this meeting live, commented by Bixente Lizarazu and Grégoire Margotton, according to Médiamétrie.
The market share for the entire audience aged four and over watching television is 32.1%. A score twice higher than that of the American series "Magnum" which it broadcast the previous Wednesday. A breath of fresh air for the channel's advertising revenues at the lowest since the start of 2020, because of the confinement.
In the process, the debriefing of the meeting by Denis Brogniart attracted 1.35 million people on average between 11 p.m. and 11:35 p.m., or 12% of market share. Very good scores that the front page should beat this Sunday, since it will offer live the final of the European competition between PSG and Bayern.
Note that on Tuesday evening, 1.7 million people on average had watched the PSG-Leipzig match in front of the pay channel RMC Sport! The channel's audience with Wednesday night's game won't be known until the afternoon.
The other chains far behind
The other channels could not resist the overkill of football. France 3 is doing the best with the rebroadcast of a number of “Roots and wings”, which surveyed the roads of Limousin. 1.73 million viewers allergic to football watched Carole Gaessler's show, or 8.5% of the global audience. M 6 is not far away. 1.67 million people were captivated by the fate of Meghan and Harry in “Forbidden Zone”, the magazine presented by Ophélie Meunier (8.1% market share).
France 2 is at the foot of the podium, at a very low level, with the French medical series “Nina” carried by Annelise Hesme and Thomas Jouannet. The first two episodes of this special night were followed by 1.54 million, then 1.26 million viewers with allergies to football. The overall market share of the evening is 6.7% of the audience. A catastrophic audience for France 2, down from the previous Wednesday (7.9% of PDA).
