VOX Reaches 7.4 Percent Share in March 2008

Cologne-based television channel VOX closed March with a 7.4 percent share among adults aged 14 to 49.

The celebrity magazine “Prominent!” performed particularly well in March, reaching 13.1 percent. Other strong performers included “Das perfekte Promi Dinner” with a new high of 12.1 percent, “Das perfekte Dinner” with up to 16.4 percent and “Unser Traum vom Haus” with up to 11 percent.

April at VOX is dominated by “Power of 10”. The new game show with Dirk Bach begins on 21 April, initially airing as a weekday event at 10:15 p.m., and will also run at 8:15 p.m. on 29 April, 6 May and 13 May. “Power of 10” is about judging public opinion correctly: contestants must estimate how the German population responded to various surveys. Those with a willingness to take risks and a feel for trends can win one million euros. Crime fans can look forward to the free-to-air premiere of the third season of “The Closer” from 2 April. The channel also has a range of film highlights, including the Academy Award-winning comedy “Sideways” as a free-to-air premiere on 5 April, the Eminem drama “8 Mile” on 10 April and “Hulk” on 17 April. Another April addition is the documentary soap “Grenzenlos verliebt”, which follows people who leave everything behind in Germany and move abroad for love across ten episodes beginning on 29 April.
