Updated only now
There was a big season premiere of “Maskorama” on Saturday – and the first to come out was “Hytta” where Birgit Skarstein was hiding. 1,016,000 spectators captured. This is a decrease of 141,000 spectators compared to last year’s figure.
By comparison, there were 1,157,000 viewers who saw the season premiere of “Maskorama” last fall.
Expectations they were great until the third season of “Mask”. Because NRK1 had one slow start on TV Saturday so far this fall with “The World’s Best Friends”, which in prime time only managed to tempt about 330,000 viewers.
Last fall, among other things, “Maskorama” had an average of 1,238,000 spectators.
– Over 1 million viewers over the weekend is a great start considering how strong TV 2 has been over the past few weeks, and now we’re just building on the big premiere. I hope and believe that we will bring even more viewers with us over the course of the season, says Maskorama project editor Jan Egil Ådland in a comment.
– Maskorama “is one of the safest cards that NRK has, said TV manager Marianne Massaiu In the network of media agencies Group M Saturday VG.
After an entire evening of colorful costumes and cool tunes, the first “Maskorama” participant of the year was revealed.
Many speculated about Birgit Skarstein’s name during last year’s “Maskorama”. Only this year they did it well.
“Hytta” performed Dagny’s “Come Over”, but this time it failed to win the crowd. VG reviewer Tor Martin Bøe gave “Hytta” a roll of the 2 dice and concluded that this rendition of Dagny probably fits best alone in the cabin.
On Saturday, TV 2 and “Shal vi danse All stars” faced tough competition from NRK and “Maskorama” in the first part of the competition.
Altogether, there were 536,000 spectators who captured the entire “Shall we dance: All stars” this Saturday. Corresponding viewers the week before were 505,000.
– That was the end of visas for me. I am so proud that we have come this far. I am so thankful for Catalin. I am so thankful for all the wonderful people. I’m not embittered, Iselin Guttormsen said after having to leave the competition on Saturday.
Correction: In the first version of this case, VG wrote that there were 1,272,000 people who saw the premiere of “Maskorama” in the fall of 2021. The correct number of viewers is 1,157,000. Therefore, the decrease in the number of spectators is 141,000 and not 250,000. The bug was corrected on Monday, October 17 at 11:50 am
