“Rai newscasts are declining. From Rg1 and Rg2 there is a real crowd exodus. TeleMeloni is not very popular. Almost 600,000 fewer people will stop watching the news on public television in 2023. So what do they do? They take action “No, they are promoting 50 journalists, half of whom belong to Unirai, the emerging union that Meloni is aiming for and which today has about 200 members.” This was stated by the group leader of the Green-Left alliance Peppe De Cristofaro, president of the Misto Group of Palazzo Madama, member of the Rai Supervisory Commission, and commented on the data reported by La Repubblica, according to which over half a million people fled from the public news broadcasts (578,000 to be precise), from the Biscione channels 238,000 , i.e. less than half.
The worst of these – says the paper – is Gian Marco Chiocci's Tg1, which in the 8pm edition left 336,000 spectators on the road and half a point ahead, while still holding the record of the most watched games (24.7% ) held. But the gap to Clemente Mimun's Tg5 has narrowed, although the Mediaset flagship loses an average of 149,000 heads and a share of 0.4 in the same edition. Antonio Preziosi's Tg2 result was similar, falling to 5.8%: he also missed half a point share (and 160,000 listeners) in 2023.
“Rai’s division continues to harm ratings and the quality of information,” De Cristofaro continues. “It happens between Christmas and Epiphany, when the right gives its believers a gift instead of thinking about the decline in numbers and taking countermeasures.” old and new. Something unprecedented because, beyond all his limitations, Rai was able to improve his skills and achieve results over time. Today, however, the only thing that counts is loyalty to the majority. Pluralism is being swept away because we need a tamed narrative that must hide behind a blanket of smoke and chatter the absolute inadequacy of the Meloni government and the majority that supports it. This cannot be public television for which Italians pay license fees.”
