The weekly Nuovo publishes a letter from a Pomeriggio 5 viewer complaining about the excessive presence of crime news on Myrta Merlino’s channel. Judging by the ratings, that would be a widespread feeling. The audience is demanding more space for color themes.
The new Afternoon 5 From Myrta Merlin has now become the focus of this issue, although we may have to wait a while before we can see it too Entertainment Look in the afternoon container. The audience likes the presenter, but with the start of the fall program she loudly demands that the topics covered go beyond crime news and that lighter, more colorful topics can also be addressed, such as the so-called “Scoop”.
The letter to Nuovo complaining about too much crime reporting on Pomeriggio 5
The risk is to betray too much the tastes of the Canale 5 audience. On the one hand, on the version to “Trash” by Barbara d’Urso We were convinced that we had to make compromises, but on the other hand we must not distort the program, which has been about entertainment since its inception. In the latest issue of the weekly newspaper Nuovo TV, the director Riccardo Signoretti publishes a letter received by the editorial team from a viewer complaining about the attendance way too complicated with crime news in Myrta Merlino’s new program. It would just be an example of the public’s shared feeling.
I’m not convinced about the new Afternoon Five with Myrta Merlino. She’s good, but the show started with a series of terrible news, from the bear killed in Abruzzo to the rape in Palermo to poor Giulia Tramontano killed by her boyfriend. Simply depressing! And then I was impressed when I saw the presenter reading everything out on large sheets of suggestions. So much for spontaneity. Even d’Urso sometimes talked about sad facts, but she always knew how to make us smile again. So the show looks like a crime report.
Pomeriggio 5 and Mediaset’s ratings are reportedly worrying
After an excellent debut that attracted 1,633,000 viewers on Canale 5, representing a share of 21.37% in the first part of the program, the TV ratings of the new afternoon channel began to slowly decline. A few weeks after it began, viewership began to fluctuate between 1,200,000 and 1,100,000. According to Dagospia’s rumors, the data would not have gone unnoticed by the company, which was concerned about the progress of the program. We would therefore think about some structural changes, particularly in the second part. “The results of Myrta Merlino’s new management are beginning to worry Mediasetwho could think of that? to make some optimizations to the transmission to increase ratings, especially in the second part. As long as it’s not too late,” writes Giuseppe Candela on Twitter.
