The Balls Show in Argentina: Ratings Failure

The Argentine TV show 'The Balls', led by Chilean actor Benjamín Vicuña, showed low ratings in its first season. Its peak popularity was only 3.4 points, with an average of 2.3 points over 40 episodes. Previously, with a different host, the show also failed and was taken off the air.

Buenos Aires, February 28 (NA) - The show 'The Balls', this season under the command of Chilean actor Benjamín Vicuña, debuted on Eltrece screen on Monday, January 5, reaching 3.0 points. According to Argentine News Agency (NA) verified through Kantar Ibnope Media sheets, its highest mark was on January 9, after reaching 3.4 points, and the lowest was on February 18 when it measured 1.6 points. During its 40 programs on air, it averaged 2.3 points. Evidently, the format did not please the Argentine viewer. 'The Balls' had a first season in Prime Time on the 'el solcito' channel last summer, on that occasion under the direction of Guido Kaczka and the performance, at least from the audience numbers, was not good either. In fact, it was removed by the management headed by Adrián Suar a few months after its premiere. Source: Kantar Ibope/Televisión.com.ar.
