Serena Bortone has recently concluded the first edition of the Rai 3 talk What will bewhich, however, seems that next September it will not see the light of day again with a second season. The rumors that echoed in the air about the closure of the program following the Scurati case have become reality: the flagship network chose not to renew the program for a second season, putting the presenter’s job at great risk. A good revenge for what happened in recent months or a choice due to low ratings? Probably both, but let’s find out more.
What will bedisappointing ratings: Rai closes it
Well yes, from the latest rumors it seems that Rai has decided to suspend the program What will be Of Serena Bortone which, after the recent conclusion of the first season, will not start again in September. What caused this decision? Definitely i low ratings they didn’t help, and the Rai3 talk closed the year with a miserable average of 3.88% share. Definitely low numbers that have never managed to keep up with the results of the competition, including the direct competitor Massimo Gramellini on La7.
The fact of not having obtained the desired results may have influenced Rai’s decision to suspend the program but, to be honest, it seems that the real reason actually lies in the “stance” by Bortone regarding the Scurati case.
Serena Bortone, Rai takes revenge for the Scurati case
Last April, Serena Bortone sparked a real controversy by reading live on What will be The anti-fascist monologue of the journalist and writer Antonio Scurati. This, after the Melonian Rai had promptly prevented the disclosure of the monologue by canceling Scurati’s guest appearance in the program. A “stance taken” by the presenter that the network’s top management seems not to have appreciated at all. And if for several weeks there has been talk of a “measure” towards the presenter, it now seems clear how Rai has decided to serve its own vendetta.
And, in all this, it seems that Rai already has some idea to replace the presenter. From the rumors of TvBlog it seems that the company intends to fill the weekend space left by Bortone with The Confession conducted by Peter Gomez (on Saturday) e Reports (On Sunday). At the moment, however, these remain only rumors.
What is certain is that the spaces for Serena Bortone seem to be getting smaller and smaller, and his place in Rai seems to be increasingly at risk. Alongside this, however, it is right to remember who Serena Bortone is Rai editor-in-chief with a permanent contractand therefore we cannot exclude the hypothesis that there may also be other plans for her, unless she herself decides to go elsewhere and, let’s face it, she certainly wouldn’t be the first.
