THEl countdown to the return of Fiorello in Rai it began. But, instead of on Rai 1 with Long live Asiago 10as had been announced in recent days, the new program – 135 episodes – will be broadcast on Rai 2. The title clearly says it: Long live Rai2. Schedule planned? From Monday to Friday between 7 and 8.30, starting from 5 Decemberand with a run-in from 7 November on RaiPlay.
Viva Rai2: the announcement to the board of directors
To formalize the return of Rosario Fiorello was the CEO Carlo Fuortes. The announcement has thus put definitively an end to the quarrel between Tg1 and the television company. A controversy that broke out two days ago with the editorial committee arose against the indiscretions that gave Fiorello’s new program in the same morning slot of Tg1 Morning. After rumors that they wanted the showman more than annoyed by the clutch, the Cdr of the Tg wrote directly to him.
Dear Fiore, I am writing to you
«Dear Fiore, Roberto, Virginia and I are writing to you in the name and on behalf of the entire editorial staff of Tg1, which has great esteem for your work and has always enjoyed your television inventions like everyone else». Thus begins the letter in which the journalists, essentially, they tell Fiorello that they are not at war with anyone, “Much less with an artist about whom he continually talks about the admirable television exploits”. Ultimately, however, the opposition of the news has changed the cards on the table, with the change of location of Long live Rai2 on Rai2.
“It’s a choice that makes me happy”
After the formalization, Fiorello thanked Rai. “It is a choice that makes me happy, I love the first few times, even if in reality it is a return“, he said. «In 1992 I made the new one Cantagiro and today, after a long journey of 30 years, I arrive early in the morning of Rai 2 with a project that I care a lot about and which, as it was with Long live Radio 2 And Long live Raiplayit has that joyful flavor of a new beginning ».
He has not forgotten even the journalists of Tg1. Thanked for the words of esteem towards him, he wished them “to find the answers and solutions to work at their best”.
The return to Rai, who lost and who won
Let’s start by saying that Fiorello in Rai is a beautiful thing. Because he is good and is loved by people for his spontaneity. Behind the jokes of him, in addition to the preparation, there is the improvisation of an artist who manages to be at ease in any situation. It is enough to have attended one of his live shows to realize that he is a thoroughbred horse, and that Rai has done well to take him home. If that weren’t enough, there are ratings monstre of his shows. In 2011, # ilpiùgrandespettacolodopoilweekend on Raiuno, which started with an audience of 9,794,000 spectators, closed the fourth episode with 13,401,000 and a 50.22% share. Listens worthy of a Sanremo Festival which, together with Amadeus, led to record ratings.
Rai 1 has probably lost an opportunity. The information space of Tg1 morning never took off, and Fiorello would certainly have given a boost to the audience. What has been lost has certainly earned Rai 2, which will raise the bar in the morning. The rest are trifles, viewers just need to know which remote control button to press.
