The presenter Amadeus, born Amedeo Sebastiani, has a contract with Rai which expires on June 30. And he received an offer from the competition. That is to say from Warner Bros-Discovery, which has already taken Fabio Fazio. But there is also another avenue. The one that leads to Cologno Monzese. Pier Silvio Berlusconi would have contacted the Romagna DJ for an ambitious project. That is to say “tear off” the Sanremo Festival from Viale Mazzini. When? In 2025. That is to say on the expiration date of the agreement with the municipality. A problem for the governance of Fratelli d'Italia. To be faced when the Melonian Giampaolo Rossi becomes CEO in place of Roberto Sergio.
The danger
The Republic explains today that Rai could also revive himself to stop Amadeus' escape. But it could cost you a lot of money. On the other hand, the host is nicknamed “Mr. 30 million”, a nickname due to the revenue recorded by the Festival that he directs each year. Amadeus himself spoke about the offers made to Rai's top management. While his good friend Fiorello told Viva Rai2!: “I can confirm that Mediaset is interested in Amadeus!”. But, explains the newspaper, Mediaset would be a Trojan horse which would hide Channel 9 within it. Which would continue the acquisition campaign with another champion of the public service. In Rai, Marcello Ciannamea would be sacrificed for Angelo Mellone. The presenter “would thus suddenly lose the people he trusts, but also the freedom to express himself as he has always done”, explains the newspaper.
Banijai Products
Rai could still match Discovery's offer. While Amadeus' escape could lead to a side effect. The host could take away products from Banijai Italia, the production company for programs such as Your business And The usual stranger. So yes, there would be trouble for Rai.
