Rai's Potential High-Profile Departures and Broadcasting Shifts

Not just Amadeus. Rai might lose other major figures. Even if the public TV will do everything to retain its leading characters, Fiorello being the foremost among them. He is the last trench of Viale Mazzini. Even though he said that he and Amedeo Sebastiani do not do everything together. And that Discovery cannot afford him as well. Remembering in the end that he is free, in the sense that "I have never made contracts with Mediaset, Sky... only on a project basis. I can always decide". Who might leave Rai According to La Stampa, Fiorello is planning to take a sabbatical year after the end of Viva Rai2!. While other big names of Viale Mazzini are ready to say goodbye. Sigfrido Ranucci is at odds with the Rai Supervision Commission and his clashes with Maurizio Gasparri could cause a breakdown. And the host of Report might pack his bags. While Francesca Fagnani is courted by Mediaset. But also by Nove, which could thus make a clean sweep. Federica Sciarelli might say goodbye after the "slight" of Far West, a broadcast similar to hers aired on Rai. The contract of Amadeus Meanwhile, details emerge about the future of Amadeus. The "salary" at Discovery will be 2.5 million euros a year for four years for a total of ten million. While Warner Bros Italy will invest a hundred million in total in the host's projects. Which include a daily program and a musical format. But will this be the only TV market hit of Nove in view of the next season? The Clerici case While Rai tries to secure Fiorello, the latest rumors lead to a dream Antonella Clerici. In an interview given to the weekly magazine Gente last January, Laura Carafoli, the head of programming and original productions of the Discovery Italia group, speaking of Fabio Fazio had confessed: "Another name I like? Antonella Clerici. I adore her, I follow her on social media when she cooks with her daughter, I find her to be a real woman. She turned 60 years old: I like that she is an adult woman and so vital. My favorite program, outside of my world and apart from those of Maria, is The Voice". Sanremo 2025 Finally, there is Sanremo. Which is Rai's until 2025, the year in which the agreement with the municipality expires. It costs the public TV 5 million a year, of which 2.3 for the rent of the Ariston theater. The competition is advancing, even if satellite TVs seem excluded because the festival must be broadcast in clear. The danger here would always be Mediaset. Meanwhile, there is also confusion about the hosting of the next. The most popular names are those of Carlo Conti and Paolo Bonolis. Then there are Alessandro Cattelan and Stefano De Martino.
