The TV hosts, promoted or torpedoed, greeted their audience

For the first time, as it hasn’t happened for years, perhaps for decades, he awaits the next television season with great trepidation. Shuffle the cards, change all conductors’ places, scatter them on the schedule even of the enemy networks is in fact the only possible strategy not to die. Even before competing with each other, Rai, Mediaset, Discovery, La7, all need to keep alive that handful of viewers who compete for talks. And if you can’t make friends with them, at least confuse them. One can already imagine the dismay of the poor viewer, perhaps unaware of the stormy summer market: “And what is Berlinguer doing on Rete 4? And Myrta Merlino on ‘Afternoon Five’? Where is Palombelli? Ah! here is Fazio, they put him down here”. In short, the first episodes of the new programs will be given at least a chance, if only to see the effect it has. Even if they are the same as always, old en travesti, just the make-up redone and a new team logo. And so all the argumentative, resentful or tearful goodbyes of these days also become magnificent promos for next season. Many ways to say goodbye in this crazy summer of incandescent telemarket: from the match finale of Fazio and Littizzetto to the letter of Lucia Annunziata, from the #RaiLivesMatter of the last episodes of Serena Bortone and Gramellini to the glacial silence of Berlinguer, up to the angry interview of Barbara D’Urso on Repubblica, the new house organ of the cross-revenge of trash.
