Amadeus, the king of access prime time, will not renew his contract with Rai. By the end of the week, the signing of the four-year agreement with Warner Bros.

Discovery is expected. "It wasn't an easy choice for me also considering the important efforts made by Rai to retain me", says the host. Amadeus is expected to make a double commitment on Nove: the strategic access segment, which could be Soliti Ignoti (whose contract with the public TV is expiring ) and a prime time musical format, not a talent show but an event show on the Arena Suzuki model. He denies the rumors according to which he would have put a program for his wife, Giovanna Civitillo, and the dismissal of former manager Lucio Presta among the conditions for remaining. The divorce is sanctioned by a cordial meeting, but the divorce is sensational: Rai loses its leading man, the creator of five Sanremos that went down in history.
