Fiorello: «Warner negotiates for the journalistic center of LA7». Irony, brawl (and also denial)

«There are no negotiations underway by the Warner Bros. Discovery group for the acquisition of La7’s journalistic hub: this is what Ansa has learned from sources within the company. The clarification comes after the rumors launched by Fiorello to Viva Rai2!». In the end Warner Bros. Discovery, the publisher that now even more after the Amadeus coup plans to position itself as the third pole of the TV market, had to resort to denial. After all, now between the serious and the facetious Viva Rai2! “Ama o non Ama” on Rai has acted as a bit of a nerve center these days, with the rumors, which later became reality, of Amadeus’ divorce from Rai.

A role that Fiorello liked and likes a lot. After all, how can you blame him. «Rai runs for cover, the aim is to lock down the last remaining big players. It seems that Carlo Conti was locked in a closet on the third floor of Viale Mazzini”, joked the Sicilian showman during the live broadcast. In which there is plenty of time to address another topic, not at all trivial after the declarations of the mayor of Sanremo, Alberto Biancheri, to the LaPresse agency: «Is there a risk for Rai of losing the Sanremo Festival? I have no idea. At the moment there is an agreement until the 2025 Festival, then who knows.” Music to Fiorello’s ears: «There is still absolute mystery about the company that could buy the Festival. All we know is that it could change its name to “PierFestival”».

But it doesn’t end there: «After Amadeus, Floris is also gone. He’s doing the loop of the death, after Rai he was at La7, now he’s skipping 8 and will go to Nove”, continues Fiorello reading a newspaper. Until the final blow: «Warner is negotiating to buy the journalistic center of La7 – he continues – Mentana already has the tag with the words “20% discounted”, he is already leaving. As soon as they buy the information they have already made the third point: Rai1, Canale 5 and Il Nove”.

Open up heaven. The syllogism takes off: “Do you want to see that, as he said well about Amadeus, now Fiorello may have told the truth in this case too?”. At La7 they use irony to respond to what the broadcaster refuses to consider other than as ironic statements: «Dear Fiore, we are happy here. We also have a nice sofa and there is always room for you…”, was written on the official X profile (twitter) of the broadcaster headed by Urbano Cairo.

Less ironic, as mentioned, is the response of Warner Bros. Discovery now preparing to announce the arrival of Amadeus on Channel Nine from next season. Fiorello no: he has already made it known that he has a contract with his sofa. And in any case, in the summer Rai will aim to strike once again to keep the Sicilian showman at home.
