Canale 5 and Barbara d’Urso have agreed that the artist will no longer host Afternoon 5 starting next season.

About the professional future of Barbara D’UrsoDavide Maggio’s portal had stated that the moderator would have an exclusive contract with Mediaset by December 2023 and that he intends to return in the early eveninga project the company would have turned down, at least for now:
So the question is what will happen after 2024. Well, the presenter pretended by sending out a contract extension request 8 months before the deadline. But that there was a very concrete guarantee: prime time on Canale 5. (The last one is Live – It’s not the D’Urso of 2021). Mediaset responded with spades. In fact, the corporate policy in Cologno goes in a different direction than that of “unseen” exclusivity. (as the Marcuzzi case teaches). Currently there are no concrete prime time projects for the presenter in the schedules to be defined.
In a recent interview with weekly Gente, when asked if she was looking for a back-up plan for her future, the well-known and popular presenter said:
“NO. In reality, I’m so competitive between TV, podcasts, and theater that I don’t need Plan Bs. Instead, I’d say my professional commitments are all Plan A’s.”
