The Masked Singer crashes: ProSieben loses its flagship show

TVS News AI, editorially supervised, presents The Masked Singer crashes: ProSieben loses its flagship show.

If you've switched on ProSieben in recent years, the chances were good that "The Masked Singer" was on — or at least the ads for it. The show was considered the network's flagship format. But those days are now over: on Wednesday evening (September 30), the music show posted an all-time low — it has never performed this poorly.

ProSieben's flagship show loses its audience

For a long time, "The Masked Singer" was considered ProSieben's flagship show — but those times are over. On Wednesday evening (September 30), the music show posted an all-time low.

In the show, celebrities sing in elaborate costumes and must be guessed by the audience. What worked as a ratings guarantee for years is now losing more and more viewers. The new low is not an outlier, but part of a longer downward slide, as Focus Kultur reports.

What's next for the mask format?

For ProSieben, the development is bitter. "The Masked Singer" was one of the few in-house formats with which the network regularly reached millions of viewers in recent years. It remains to be seen whether the show will recover — or whether the record from September 30 was only the prelude to a final crash. All details and ratings figures can be found in the full report from Focus Kultur.
