The TVA musical program dominates the Sunday evening thanks to its Variété hosted by Marc Dupré, which remained, according to confirmed figures from Numeris, above the bar of 1.5 million viewers, except on February 13 when Super Bowl 56 was taking place.
Thus, during the first Variety on January 30 – two weeks late due to an outbreak of COVID-19, courtesy of the Omicron variant – 1,552,000 curious people attended the draft of the 15 Academicians taking part in this new season.
In the following weeks, attendance continued at 1,520,000 (February 6) and 1,317,000 (February 13), as ratings suffered that night due to the Super Bowl. According to unconfirmed numbers for the February 20 Variety, 1,566,000 viewers were in attendance.
This gives so far market shares varying from 43 to 47% for “Star Académie”, except on the evening of the Super Bowl (30%). We will have to see if the data grows until the grand finale of “Star Académie”, on April 24, during the 13th and last Variety.
As for “La vrai nature”, which allows us to attend meetings rich in emotions at Jean-Philippe Dion’s chalet, we are talking about a first broadcast with 967,000 people on TVA (January 16), then millionaire episodes with 1,178,000 viewers (January 23), 1,033,000 (January 30), 1,271,000 (February 6) and 1,085,000 (February 13). On February 20, according to unconfirmed data, there were 1,007,000 followers. This new season filmed in Sutton ends on April 10.
“Everybody’s Talking About It”, which was on hiatus during the Beijing Winter Olympics broadcast by ICI TÉLÉ, fluctuates from week to week, with figures confirmed by Numeris of 1,184,000 (January 16) , 995,000 (January 23) and 785,000 (January 30), evening of the first Variety of “Star Académie”.
As for “Big Brother Celebrities”, the other Sunday evening player, its opening on Noovo on January 9 took place in front of 888,000 fans, according to confirmed figures from Numeris, then the show fell to 828,000 (16 January) before disappearing from the top 30 on January 23 and 30. It returned to 30th position with 716,000 people (February 6) and 22nd position with 687,000 viewers (February 13).
