The bianca berlinguer leave Rai. After Fabio Fazio, Luciana Littizzetto, Massimo Gramellini e Lucia Announced, the list of "who enters and who leaves Rai" is getting longer, with the journalist, former director of Tg3 and presenter of "Cartabianca", who said goodbye to Viale Mazzini for a new adventure (which according to rumors should move to Mediaset ). The rumors about Berlinguer's farewell had been chasing each other in recent days, and now the divorce is official. The daughter of the great communist leader Enrico Berlinguer thanked the company "for 34 years of work, always carried out in full autonomy both as director and presenter of in-depth programs". Rai, for her part, "thanks Bianca Berlinguer and sends her best wishes for the continuation of her professional activity". Among the factors that would have pushed the historical face of Rai Tre to leave the state TV a higher remuneration, a daily program or prime time on Tuesdays.
In the late afternoon of Tuesday 4th July the new TV season of Mediaset (where there is also an air of revolution after the farewell of Barbara D'Urso and Ilary Blasi) and Pier Silvio Berlusconi will drop his ace – now given for sure – by announcing Berlinguer's landing on Rete4. The CEO of Mediaset would in fact have strongly pushed to wrest the historic Rai journalist from the competition, who for some time had not hidden her impatience with the lack of "attention" to Cartabianca (little budget and too much internal counter-programming). In short, next autumn the new schedules will be full of familiar faces in a completely different guise, as never before in recent years, on both sides.
Rai: schedules approved
The Board of Directors of the public broadcaster met on Monday 3 July in Rome and took note of the television schedules which will start from September and which will be made public Friday July 7 in Naples. Next Friday, therefore, all the projects planned for Rai 1, Rai 2 and Rai 3 in the coming months will be put on paper, revealing with certainty the names of the conductors, their programs and at what times they will be broadcast. And it had been years since there was one telemarket as "lively" as that of this year which, due to the new Rai governance with centre-right traction, lit the flame of controversy. Waiting to know for sure the contents of the next schedules let's see who comes in and who goes out (for now) from Rai.
Rai: who enters and who exits?
The spoils system in recent weeks has made the Italian radio and television a real whirlwind: the farewells by Fabio Fazio and Luciana Littizzetto, which will give way to Report by Siegfried Ranucci. Berlinguer will leave his place at Rai Tre a Monica Giandotti, with a new journalistic in-depth programme. In the season that has just ended, Giandotti hosted Agorà, again on Rai3, while the previous year she had been at the helm of UnoMattina alongside Marco Frittella. Not only farewells in the Rai house but also various trips. There are those who switch from one program to another. As Serena Bortone who will no longer be on Rai 1 with Oggi è Un Altro Giorno, leaving the afternoon to Caterina Balivo, and could go to Parole, instead of Massimo Gramellini who would instead be ready to land on La7. On Monday evening, instead of Report, there will be Presadiretta by Richard Iacona. Also confirmed the daily strip of Filippo Facci on Rai2 before the news.
Among the great returns, writes the Corriere della Sera, we also find Max Giusti, which should drive two transmissions, and Pino I teach, who will host Il merchant at the fair and from January 2024 also L'Eredità in place of Flavio Insinna. Then they come Enrico Ruggeri, with a musical programme, e Vincenzo Salemme, with a new show. There are also those who stay, like Nunzia DeGirolamo, who in addition to seeing his Ciao Maschio confirmed could get a space in prime time, Monday, on Rai 3. While in the second evening the challenge will be between Tango, hosted by Luisella Costamagna on Rai 2, and the former face of Tg1 Francesco Giorgio, broadcast simultaneously on Rai1.
Out of the schedule, as already announced in recent days, Lucia Announced e Maurizio Mannoni, historic face of Linea Notte who greeted the public last Saturday. Instead of Annunziata, In Half an Hour, arrives Monica Maggioni. As well as Marianne April e Luca Bottura, who had their Forrest radio show canceled “without warning”. “The program was fine – declared Aprile – I really don't see any reasons for ratings or costs. I think it's a legitimate and highly questionable editorial choice which, on the one hand, suggests the will to preside over even the last little space that is mistakenly believed to be occupied by the opposing party, and on the other, a serious lack of respect for the company”.
Therefore the line of the new Rai management by Sergio-Rossi continues, afterwards Fortes' farewell: recalibrate public TV, today too much to the left, but tomorrow perhaps too much to the right.
