On Saturday night, November 14, the battle for television ratings saw Keshet 12 emerge as the clear winner, while Kan 11 experienced a significant drop. The program "Meeting with Ronnie Kovan," which had recently generated controversy following an interview with journalist Shlomi Eldar, lost tens of thousands of viewers. In contrast, "The Masked Singer" on Keshet 12 gained strength, leaving its competitors far behind.
The latest episode of "Meeting with Ronnie Kovan" featured stand-up comedian Nadav Abukasis, who discussed his coming out and his family's reaction. However, the show garnered only 4.1% viewership and 96,000 viewers, a sharp decline from the previous week's 5.3% and 141,000 viewers, representing a loss of approximately 45,000 viewers in a single week, or about 32%.
Last week's interview with Shlomi Eldar, where he alleged his ex-wife had a long-term affair with a millionaire businessman, drew criticism. Journalist Haim Levinson, among others, attacked Kovan and the show's editors for revealing intimate details about a private individual without hearing her side. Levinson stated he would not agree to be interviewed on the program and criticized its broadcast on the public broadcaster. However, there is no data directly linking this criticism to the recent drop in ratings.
Keshet 12 celebrated a strong performance with "The Masked Singer," which achieved 17.5% viewership and 482,000 viewers, an increase from 16.6% the previous week. Meanwhile, Reshet 13's "Survivor" saw a decline from 13.9% to 11.3%, with 338,000 viewers. Channel 14's "The Patriots," hosted by Yinon Magal, saw a slight increase to 6.9% and 188,000 viewers.
In the news segment, Keshet 12's weekend news edition, anchored by Dana Weiss, recorded 14% viewership and 383,000 viewers. Channel 14's news came in second with 6.1% and 160,000 viewers, surpassing News 13's 4.6% and 127,000 viewers. Kan 11 News remained last with 3.3% and 92,000 viewers. Keshet 12 also led the late-night slot, with "Avri and Shaki" drawing 6.5% and 170,000 viewers, followed by Channel 14's "Conversation with Oded Harosh" at 6% and 163,000 viewers.
