Amadeus is ready to live his new professional adventure on channel NOVE of the American Discovery group. But there is already controversy
Work and preparations for the new television season are in full swing. The main television broadcasters are sharpening their weapons in view of next autumn when the classic winter schedules will return. RAI, Mediaset, LA7 and lastly the ambitious Canale NOVEin the coming weeks they will announce their respective programming urbi et orbi.
The Discovery group did things in a big way, first hiring Fabio Fazio and a few months ago Amadeus, snatched from RAI to the sound of millionaire proposals. The presenter and showman from Ravenna, after a few days of reflection, announced his farewell to state TV.
Immediately after signing the agreement with Discovery the former ‘deus ex machina’ of the Sanremo Festival immediately started working on the Canale NOVE schedules which will start next September. And the remote challenge with RAI is already heating up, which will replace Amadeus with Stefano De Martino.
The former Amici dancer, who signed a four-year agreement with RAI, will host “Your Business”, remained available on state TV. Amadeus will instead present “I Soliti Ignoti”, the program that the Ravenna showman himself hosted on Rai Uno until 2023.
Amadeus copies everything, the strategy is now official: spectators taken aback
In recent weeks Laura Carafoli, responsible for Southern European content for the Discovery grouphas made it official that the new version of the quiz game borrowed from RAI it will be called “Identity”: Channel NOVE in fact cannot use the name “I Soliti Ignotiti”, given that it is the state TV that holds the rights.
The production company Endemol Shine Italy, which also includes Affari Tuoi, has opened casting calls to recruit new participants. Among the roles for which it is possible to apply are that of identity, performer and finally competitor.
Amadeus is ready, he wants to trip RAI: attack in style
The main novelty concerns the competitor who will try to win the prize money up for grabs together with a partner or family member. This is the identical mechanism that concerns “Your Business”, where the so-called ‘parcel workers‘ are accompanied by friends or relatives.
For the ‘new’ Identity, therefore, the NOVE channel first hired Amadeus and then snatched its most successful format from RAI. The Romagna showman who interacts with the competing couples is one of the strong points of Affari Tuoi.
