Digital growth and new brands: 2019 has been a successful year for ProSieben

2019 has been a really good year for ProSieben. We were significantly more successful than in previous years, especially in the supreme discipline of TV making, and created three major new entertainment brands with The Masked Singer, Joko und Klaas gegen ProSieben and Queen of Drags. ProSieben shows: Traditional TV continues to have a disproportionately high appeal , said station manager Daniel Rosemann, drawing a positive conclusion for 2019. With a market share of 38.5% (ages 14 to 49), the finale of The Masked Singer crowned the show series that has breathed new life into the TV campfire like no other. Our major established show brands such as Germany's next Topmodel - by Heidi Klum' and Das Duell um die Welt' have expanded their digital performance in 2019 alongside increasing TV market shares , said Rosemann. Late Night Berlin' is our first program to have more viewing minutes online than on TV, despite increasing its TV performance. This is a historic step for the entertainment brand ProSieben.

In addition, many special broadcasts by ProSieben became the talk of the nation: ProSieben Spezial: Der Regenwald brennt , the Green Seven Report , ProSieben Spezial: Deutsche an der ISIS Front and Thilo Mischkes report series Uncovered . After the first Joko & Klaas LIVE aired in May 2019, a lot of critics praised the statements calling for more compassion as a historic TV moment .

Overall in 2019, ProSieben performed 0.1 percentage points better than in the previous year, increasing its market share to 9.6% (ages 14 to 49). Among very young viewers (ages 14 to 29), ProSieben became market leader with a market share of 14.5% - and reached an incredible 60% more young viewers than Das Erste and ZDF combined. ProSieben grew disproportionately in the digital segment: The number of video views increased by a very pleasing 9% in 2019 compared to the previous year.

ProSieben is the youngest and best-positioned German TV brand among the full-service channels , said Daniel Rosemann. That is why ProSieben is Germany's most valuable and most important entertainment brand. For 2020, we will expand our commitment to German fiction, on top of our show competence. For the first time in years, ProSieben will show German series in prime time.

Still on record course! With a market share of 1.7% in 2019, ProSieben MAXX celebrates the most successful year since station launch

ProSieben MAXX remains in the fast lane and flexed its muscles in 2019 with daily market shares of up to 4.2% (ages 14 to 49). Audience interest in American football continues to grow: ProSieben MAXX celebrated a record season with its NFL broadcasts and is on average more than 20% above last years viewing figures. With college football, the station has established a further day of football. The Rugby World Cup made its mark. ProSieben MAXX closed the year with a strong 2.8% market share in its core target group (14- to 39-year-old men). Digital viewing figures grew by 7% year on year. Station manager Daniel Rosemann: We are continuing the success story of ProSieben MAXX: The NFL is celebrating new ratings records. We have made our mark with college football, rugby and soccer. Our mix of sports, anime and docutainment is very popular. ProSieben MAXX is celebrating the most successful year in its station history and plans to continue growing.
