 Leading TV shows in 2020

In the whole year of 2020, the most watched TV broadcast was the news broadcast Journaal Extra, at 37.8 percent target audience share. News broadcasts were very popular that year, presumably due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Postponed viewing

That year, the leading postponed television show in the Netherlands was Wie is de Mol, with nearly 1.9 million people watching the show after it was initially aired. Postponed viewing is rather popular in the Netherlands. In a 2016 survey for example, 10 percent of respondents stated to watch postponed television via the TV every day, and over 20 percent did so multiple times a week.
