Official. Amadeus leaves Rai. A meeting between the host and the general director of Viale Mazzini, Giampaolo Rossi, sanctioned the divorce. A decision that has been in the air for some time now. And now made official. At the base, from what transpires, the desire to engage in new professional challenges that await him – it must now be taken for granted from what appears to the Sun 24 Hours – on channel Nine of the Warner Bros Discovery group.
Amadeus’ choice was a choice that Rossi would have taken note of, despite the efforts made by Rai in recent weeks to retain the host of Affari Tuoi and the last five Sanremo festivals. A commitment which, however, was carried out in parallel with the decision on Amadeus’ successors in two flagship programs of Viale Mazzini. In this context, Carlo Conti should return to the Festival. While for Affari Tuoi the choice would have fallen on Stefano De Martino, considered one of the most talented young people in the Viale Mazzini team.
Fiorello: «We are waiting for Amadeus for the last episode»
«We are waiting for Jovanotti at the last episode which will be on May 10th». And Amadeus will also be there «and I think it will be the last thing he does in Rai. Could be. He loves, we are waiting for you.” In the morning Fiorello, together with Biggio, Casciari and the whole “VivaRai2!” gang, launched one last teaser, as done in all these days in which the rumors have taken shape, also revealing its season finale. But the indication already in the morning had resolved the last doubts about the future of the TV host.
Amadeus’s no to a four-year proposal from Rai
As mentioned, according to what appears to Sun 24 Hours Rai would have tried in every way to keep Amadeus on board, with a 4-year proposal. Moreover, the host leaves behind him unequivocal numbers from King Midas who transformed the Sanremo Festival into a mine, certified by the 60.182 million euros collected from the last edition of the event. And as for ratings, just look at yesterday evening, Sunday 14 April 2024, in which Rai 1 concluded prime time access without rivals with “Affari Tuoi” which continues to remain stable above 5 and a half million (5 520 million) with a 28.4% share.
Warner Bros. Discovery third Italian publisher
This is the possible plus coming for a Warner Bros. Discovery which – as mentioned at Sun 24 Hours by the CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery in Italy and Southern Europe Alessandro Araimo – has long made it clear that he is in a position to grow and make his talent pool grow. In Italy, the US media giant has a multiplatform portfolio of 15 channels in addition to discovery+, the Ott on demand platform. The publisher – third in Italy after Rai and Mediaset – in the first thirty-one weeks of this season, according to the processing of Auditel data by Studio Frasi, achieved a +14.25% in audiences on the average day (762,783, with 8.82% share) and 22.57% in prime time (1.73 million with 8.63% share). In front are Mediaset (37.73% share) and Rai (36.94%) on the average day and Rai (37.65%) and Mediaset (36.87%) in prime time.
