What did the French watch on TV this Saturday night?
Like almost every Saturday since the start of the academic year, it's still France 3 that has been at the top of the list. The Three who could count on a French fiction, it was the return of its detective series "Commissioner Magellan". 3.9 million faithful were present (19.2% of the public). This is an excellent score, up nearly 700,000 viewers compared to the previous unprecedented episode, broadcast in April.
If the Three can have a smile, it is a little less the case of TF1. Saturday night, "Dance with the stars", the entertainment presented by Camille Combal, has, once again, reached its lowest historical audience score (this is the sixth time this happens this season). The special Halloween night, which resulted in the elimination of Linda Hardy, did not make a difference with barely 3.2 million viewers and 16.4% of the public.
"Dance with the stars" will be exceptionally back on Thursday since next Saturday, on TF1, it will be the NRJ Music Awards.
Finally, always for the audiences of Saturday evening, a small word to say that the live concert of "Taratata" at the Zenith of Lille (with notably Véronique Sanson, Alain Souchon and Michel Jonasz) realized a correct performance, without more, with a average of
2.4 million curious people (13.6% of the public). This is a big loss of 700,000 viewers compared to the previous concert "Taratata 100% Live" last February.
Saturday morning, on TF1, there was the final of the Rugby World Cup.
The competition, which was taking place this year in Japan, was coming to an end with a final match between South Africa and England. The victory of the Springboks was followed by five million oval ball fans, or 56.8% of the public. This is a very big score for the One, but no surprise much lower than in the final of the previous edition. In November 2015, 8.5 million people (53.9% of PDAs) watched the All Blacks title, but the match was broadcast in the middle of the afternoon.
