Il Mercante at the fair, a quiet debut. Pino teaches: "No flops. The reviews are good" La Gazzetta dello Sport

The first episode of the new Rai 2 game show only reached 638,000 viewers, a market share of 3.4%

With the handbrake on you set off The merchant at the fairthe program with Pino Teach which was originally broadcast on Italia 1 in 2006 and will now be revived in an unedited version on Rai 2 from September 25th, just before the news at 8.30 p.m. However, the initial results were anything but positive. In fact, Il Mercante in Fiera had low ratings 638,000 viewersequal to one Share of 3.4%. “But what a flop, the ratings are good, a little higher in line with the network,” comments the former member of the Premiata Ditta, trying to quell the controversy.

the test data

In the previous week alone, the TV series “Castle” reached 653,000 viewers and one on the same time slot Share of 3.6%, although it is a zero-cost program. This is certainly a complicated time slot, contested by the major networks’ newscasts, but also by other programs – including those with Drusilla Foer and Paolo Conticini have experienced difficulties. However, it was widely believed that the first episode of Mercante in Fiera would generate greater curiosity and achieve better ratings. Something maybe on the order of at least 5%. The quiz show was again offered in a virtually identical manner to the previous two editions in 2006; The only new elements are the cards and the presence of the new “black cat”, Miss Italy Lavinia Abate. However, it seems that these changes were not enough: perhaps more dynamism was needed. It was also well received on social media rather lukewarm.

the teaching words

“The nice thing is that we finish the program at 5 percent share So the program grew and ended with a good result. What we need to do now is try to double “The ratings are in this range,” explained the moderator. “After eight minutes of advertising,” he continued, “the results were achieved.” I’m already a miracle. The audience needs to recognize that there is an agenda. The totals can be drawn after at least two weeks, we are only at the beginning: The goal is to do better than the band, i.e. to achieve 4, 5 or more 6 percent share, which would represent unprecedented success. All programs that are created must be given time to grow and be discovered, especially a daily newspaper. “It’s getting better and better,” commented Pino Insegno optimistically.
