The Patriots Crush The Voice in Israeli Prime-Time Ratings Showdown
Channel 14's The Patriots soundly defeated Reshet 13's The Voice in the recent prime-time ratings battle, drawing 7.3% compared to just 3% for the semi-final broadcast.
Channel 14 is celebrating a decisive ratings victory over Reshet 13, pulling no punches in its latest social media campaign. The official channel account published a striking graphic featuring The Patriots and The Voice side by side, topped with the bold red headline: "The Patriots crush The Voice."
The celebration follows a bruising Sunday night for Reshet 13's flagship reality format. Hosted by Yinon Magal, The Patriots drew 7.3% in ratings and 195,000 viewers, while The Voice All-Stars managed just 3% and 88,000 viewers. The gap between the programs reached 4.3 ratings points and 107,000 viewers, with The Patriots pulling in more than double the audience of its competitor.
Channel 14 accompanied the post with a statement declaring that The Patriots "continue to achieve milestones in the ratings battle," noting that the show has repeatedly outperformed The Voice, which features judges Bar Refaeli and Static, in recent weeks.
The Semi-Finals Slump
Reshet 13's disappointing figures materialized during the semi-final broadcast of The Voice. The ratings data itself was published with a delay due to a localized technical glitch in the measurement system, revealing the full picture of the night's viewing habits only hours later.
Despite the triumph, Channel 14 also edged past Checkout in Israeli media, though that encounter proved to be a much tighter race. The hit comedy series registered 7.2% and 181,000 viewers, narrowly trailing Magal's show, which held steady at 7.3% and 195,000 viewers. Meanwhile, the undisputed crown of prime time went to Keshet 12 with The Masked Singer, dominating the evening with 17.7% and 475,000 viewers.
A Growing Ratings Gap
The showdown between The Patriots and The Voice has delivered several competitive clashes recently. On October 20, the Channel 14 program recorded 5.6% and 167,000 viewers, compared to 3.7% and 127,000 viewers for The Voice. While Magal held the upper hand then as well, the latest margin marks a significant widening of the gap.
For The Voice, the harsh figures arrive just ahead of the season finale that will crown the winner of the All-Stars season. The crucial semi-final concluded with a mere 88,000 viewers tuning in, while 195,000 households watched The Patriots.
