Sports Derby Outperforms Prime Time Shows on Competing Channels

A sports broadcast of a derby match achieved a surprising 7.6% rating, surpassing the prime-time programs of Reshet 13, Kan 11, and Channel 14. Only "Baby Boom" on Keshet 12, which garnered 12% and reached 316,000 viewers, ranked higher. This achievement is particularly notable given the niche nature of the sports channel.

In other programming, "HaPshutoa" on Kan 11 concluded its season with 7% and 183,000 viewers, while Channel 14's "HaPatriotim" secured 6.4% and 160,000 viewers. Reshet 13's "HaTzabarim HaAmerikaim" recorded 4.8% and 138,000 viewers.

Keshet 12 maintained its overall lead in both prime time and news broadcasts. "Baby Boom" gave Keshet 12 a 4.4 rating point advantage over the derby and a 5-point lead over "HaPshutoa." News broadcasts saw Channel 12 lead with 11.7% and 342,000 viewers, nearly double the second-place Channel 14, which had 6.3% and 159,000 viewers. Channel 13's news followed with 5.2% and 150,000 viewers, and Kan 11's news concluded the list with 3.2% and 77,000 viewers.

Late-night programming also saw Keshet 12 in the lead with "Avri VeSharki" achieving 6.5% and 188,000 viewers, more than double the leading program on Reshet 13. Other late-night shows included "Leket HaTzinor" on Reshet 13 (3.1%), "HaYom SheHaya" (2.6%), Channel 14's "Petchi Et Shi" (2.4%), and Kan 11's "Hadashot HaLayla" (2.1%).
