605.000 så MGP-finalen lørdag
Dette er en nedgang på 228.000 fra i fjor. Det tilsvarer en markedsandel på 56,4 %. Det var totalt 865 000 som var innom sendingen i løpet av de to timene den varte. Kontroverser i forkant av sendingen og sterk konkurranse fra TV 2 kan være medvirkende årsaker til lavere seertall. På samme sendetidspunkt hadde TV 2 premiere på den syvende sesongen av Kompani Lauritzen, skriver NRK analyse i en e-post. – Lørdag var en dramatisk dag hvor det brøt ut full krig i Midtøsten, som gjorde at mange trolig hadde et annet fokus. Det er sterkt at nesten 900 000 var innom MGP-sendingen, et tall som sier noe om interessen tross et blytungt nyhetsbilde. Vi har også hatt veldig gode tall på nett- og sosiale medier, der vi har nådd en ung målgruppe som ikke nødvendigvis ser lineær-TV, sier Mads Tørklep, prosjektleder i MGP. På NRKs TikTok-konto har 870 000 fått med seg helgens MGP-dekning. Det var Jonas Lovv med låten «Ya ya ya» som vant MGP-finalen, og som blir Norges representant i Eurovision Song Contest i Wien i mai.
