German-Canadian becomes first 3+ superstar
On Tuesday evening, the audience chose Michael Janz from Lörrach in Germany as the winner of the casting show "Superstar". The young private broadcaster is satisfied with the outcome, but has announced various program changes for the New Year.
The first in-house production of the new private channel has come to an end: on Tuesday evening, the audience chose Michael Janz from the German town of Lörrach as the winner of the casting show "Superstar". 3+ is satisfied with the outcome, but has announced various program changes for the New Year, and the winner Lanz will record his first album in the coming days. In the past, the 29-year-old has already been nominated for the Echo, sung backing vocals for Nena and recorded a song with Xavier Naidoo for a charity project. He also came 2nd in the German preliminary round of the Eurovision Song Contest. However, the superstar favorite of the jury - consisting of Jubaira Bachmann, Chris von Rohr, Gimma and guest juror DJ Tatana - was the 2nd place winner Adriano Tomasi.
3+ is satisfied with the outcome. On the final evening, the show achieved an average audience share of 10.5 percent among the target group of 15 to 34-year-olds. The show seemed to be more popular with women: 13.2 percent watched the casting battle on Tuesday. "We are satisfied with the result," said 3+ Managing Director Dominik Kaiser to Werbewoche. The show could have done better, but it could also have done much worse. However, the internal target of 100,000 viewers on average per show was achieved.
3+ drops children's program from its line-upThe 3+ makers are less satisfied with the viewing figures for the morning children's program. According to Kaiser, this block has "performed worse than expected". That is why the decision has been made at Wagistrasse in Schlieren to remove the programs for the little ones from the schedule in future. From January 2007, series such as "McLeod's Daughters" and "Emergency Room" will flicker across the screen in their place. 3+ will also be broadcasting documentaries on Sunday evenings and is preparing for a test run of the crime series "Tatort" on Monday evenings. A Supermodel-style show is also in preparation, as well as a Supernanny series.
