After the debut of "I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!" on RTL+'s streaming service the previous day, its TV broadcast on RTL on August 16 also proved successful. The channel performed well in the 14-49 age demographic, attracting around 830,000 viewers and accounting for a 21.6% market share. This even surpassed ZDF, which had an 18.9% share with the DFB-Pokal match between FC Bayern Munich and SSV Ulm.
However, the TV jungle failed to compete with the reign of 'King Football' in overall audience viewership. The DFB-Pokal took the day's lead with approximately 4.0 million viewers and a 19.9% market share. "I'm a Celebrity... Battle of the Jungle Legends" had a 12.1% share and around 2.2 million viewers. It remains unclear how many viewers tuned in for the premiere on RTL+, where the current episode of the TV jungle was also aired on Friday.
The Daily Digest of Jungle Legends
For the summer season, RTL is bringing in a star-studded roster, hence the title "Battle of the Jungle Legends". The contestants are all celebrities with prior show participation, such as presenter Mola Adebisi (51), model and DJ Giulia Siegel (49), TV personality Daniela Büchner (46), and former footballer Thorsten Legat (55).
The show is hosted by Sonja Zietlow (56) and Jan Köppen (41).
The TV jungle continues on Saturday at 8:15 PM. Daily episodes will air on RTL until September 1. On RTL+, the episodes will be available a day earlier.
The show "Battle of the Jungle Legends" on RTL+ follows the RTL TV broadcast, employing the RTL's Right-To-Left (RTL) digital platform to provide viewers with an early access to the episodes. Despite the early release, the DFB-Pokal match still garnered a larger audience on traditional TV.
In the digital realm, viewers can anticipate the daily episodes of the TV jungle on RTL+ a day before their television broadcast.
