RTL programming shift for Gladiators

Overview

The German broadcaster RTL has relocated the program ‘Gladiators – Die Show der Giganten’ from its primetime slot to late-night programming due to declining viewership.

Initial ratings for the show showed approximately 700,000 viewers with a 9.2 percent market share in the 14-to-49 demographic. However, the second episode experienced a significant drop, attracting only about 500,000 viewers and a 5.2 percent market share in the same target group.

The remaining three produced episodes are scheduled to air starting October 2, but will be broadcast late at night, specifically around 23:15 or 12:35 AM, following ‘Ninja Warrior Germany’.
