Fabio Fazio, Luciana Littizzetto and Filippa Lagerback: It looks like Rai3 but it’s Nove. “Che tempo che fa” lands on the Warner Bros. Discovery Group channel and revolutionizes viewership. Same schedule, same airing day. The curiosity will be to understand how many will follow him in one of the evenings, which will become one of the busiest on the program, since most likely a Serie A game will be broadcast in plain text (on Rai3 there is instead report with Sigfrido Ranucci). New in the first edition of the Made in Nove program is the new room “Che tempo che farà”, which from 7.30 p.m. will be attended by Nino Frassica, the presenter, the cast, the guests and the program audience. Fazio thus joins the list of other greats, namely Maurizio Crozza (same agent as Fazio, Beppe Caschetto). His satirical one-man show Fratelli di Crozza, the third most-watched show on Friday night, not only surpassed 150 episodes, but has been confirmed for another three seasons.
And on Thursday, Fazio opened up about his departure from Rai at the presentation of general interest broadcaster Warner Bros. Discovery’s programming. “I never said that they kicked me out or that there was a purge, but let’s say if nothing happens with an expiring contract, you think about continuing somewhere else,” the conductor specified. “Didn’t the left defend me? I don’t want to be defended by anyone. I hate martyrdom. “I don’t want to be defended by politics or anyone, just my results,” he added, then joked about future guests in the studio: “Salvini in the first episode? Let’s not exaggerate. Not at the very beginning, at least let me start.” Salvini had welcomed the farewell announcement from Fazio and Littizzetto on public television with the tweet “Belli ciao”. After forty years of Rai, Fazio said, “You’ll never hear a word against it, because it’s part of my life,” but landing on the Nove smacks of rebirth: “And at my age — he noted — being born again is the best gift you can get. The ability to have everything new and do everything is not a given. “I – he added – firmly believe that the basic requirement for television is to be free. You have to think 100 times before voicing an opinion, but there’s one aspect of freedom that everyone who makes television can’t do without: the freedom to be contemporary. TV can’t have the limit of a preconceived narrative, otherwise you won’t be able to tell reality and be contemporary.” To those who asked him if he felt more free now than during his previous experience with Rai , Fazio replied, “Yes, absolutely, there’s a certain lightness about it.” I’ve always tried in my life to go back to our job and talk about the things we do, but – he clarified – it’s not because of that that I wasn’t free before, I’ve always been free and indeed here I am”.
Luciana Littizzetto was also delighted, who explained: “It’s always exciting to be in a new house.” The idea of being in a place full of ideas, where you can experience something without having the hassle of listening, is very much alive and young. I like it a lot.’ Here he added wryly, “Do they love us?” They want us more than anything.”
The other innovations on the Discovery channel are related to the Nove Racconta cycle, the news window that, through documentaries and reports, tells the story of reality from different points of view. Two titles in particular: Being Moana – Secrets and Mysteries, the story of Moana Pozzi, an icon of charm and sensuality, but also witness to mysteries and intrigues during the sunset of the First Republic. Instead, Ares Gate: The Factory of Illusions chronicles the case surrounding the death of director/screenwriter Teodosio Losito and the subsequent bankruptcy of Ares Film, in an interweaving of court cases and media fallout.
Katia Follesa tries for the first time to direct a comedy program with a female touch: Comedy Match will be a battle of improvisation and physical challenges between two teams of comedians led by actresses Maria De Biase and Marta Zoboli. Confirmed (for Season Four) Just for Fun – Comico Show, the program presented by PanPers and Elettra Lamborghini that peaked at over 1 million viewers. Gabriele Corsi also returns with “Don’t Forget the Lyrics – Stay on the”, which now represents a pillar of the Access range by capitalizing on the artistic streak of the singer’s competitors. There is also the usual room for Fatto Quotidiano’s journalists. Confirms the new season of Accordi&disaccordi, which returns live with Luca Sommi and the participation of Andrea Scanzi and Marco Travaglio to comment on what is happening in the Italian political scenario. In prime time there is instead the interview show (The Confession) directed by Peter Gomez.
Nove, the group’s flagship channel, consolidated its position as the ninth national channel in 24-hour programming in the first half of the year with a 1.8% share, rising to a 2.1% share in prime time. Alessandro Araimo, General Manager Warner Bros. Discovery Italy & Iberia, explains: “In the last year we have taken a fundamental step for our company and, like Warner Bros. Discovery, we have become the greatest creator in the world of entertainment content.” All this unites us great upswing and new impetus also at the local level, where our television business has grown, both in terms of share and in terms of editorial and commercial relevance.”
Real Time, with its range of Italian productions and international titles, is starting the new television season with the new show by food star Benedetta Rossi and is presenting an Access program on the channel for the first time (Recipes of Italy – The taste of the). Challenge). Benedetta Parodi must not be missing in the kitchen with Bake off Italia – sweets in the oven. The formats dedicated to love are two classics: “Marriage at First Sight” and “First Date”.
