Eyal Berkovic against the ratings: "This week I caught them, it's nonsense"
The senior television and radio host launched a sharp and unusual attack against the daily data that determines the fate of the industry, and explains how he discovered what he calls a serious contradiction in the numbers.
Eyal Berkovic, one of the prominent figures in Israeli media, did not hide his opinion on the rating data published daily. Berkovic, who hosts a program on 103FM radio and appears every evening alongside Moriah Asraf on Reshet 13, harshly criticized the way the data is presented.
"I don't believe in ratings. This week I caught them. Riklin had 4.5%, which is 0.5% more than Moriah and Berko, so I looked at the number of viewers and saw that he had 90,000 viewers and we had 120,000 viewers. How is his rating higher? It's nonsense," he said.
Last night (Monday), the program "Moriah and Berko" recorded a rating of 3.2% and 80,000 viewers. "Riklin and Co." also recorded an identical figure. In the daily rating ranking by ice, "Power Couple" on Reshet 13 was ranked third with 7% rating and 194,000 viewers. Immediately after it stood "The Patriots" with 7.7% rating and 234,000 viewers. The top of the table was occupied by "Dancing with the Stars" on Keshet 12, which recorded 16% rating and 441,000 viewers.
