Amadeus, the farewell to Rai is worth 100 million: the pre-evening quiz and the new musical format on Nove

The operation that will bring Amadeus to the Nine is worth one hundred million in four years. That is, the estimate of the advertising revenue of the last Sanremo. Only the official announcement is awaited for the host’s farewell to Rai and his move to Discovery. Which could arrive today. While on Warner Bros’ four-year investment it is assumed that around 10% would go to Amedeo Sebastiani. The operation studied by CEO Alessandro Araimo includes a daily strip of access time and a musical format based on the X Factor model. Naturally in prime time. For the presenter, the total amount would be “close” to Rai’s remuneration, he claims The print. But not higher. And this would support the hypothesis that Amadeus’ farewell to Viale Mazzini does not depend on money.

Wanting to experiment

But rather from the “desire to experiment” and the “organisational role” that Warner promises him. The behind-the-scenes events of recent days have instead revealed a series of disagreements between the management and the host with the golden audience. From the pressure to have Povia in Sanremo to the lunches with Pino Insegno up to Mogol’s “direction” for his formats. Reconstructions denied by Rai, where however the surreal is a function of the real. While the story of the company to be set up to sell formats on the Fabio Fazio model rejected by Rai seems realistic. So much so that there are those who remember that the rights to I Soliti Ignoti are expiring. Discovery convinced Amadeus for its industrial and editorial coherence and for the growth path started by Nove. While public TV appears increasingly linked to politics. And to the reasons that are sometimes unspeakable, certainly ridiculous for a company that has to stay on the market.

The new stimuli, the organizational task, the compensation

Among Amadeus’ projects there is also that organizational task that Fiorello had spoken about. Which for now does not seem to have any intention of following him. While Mediaset is also aiming for the big target: the robbery of the Festival from Rai. Where in the meantime the problem of the next management also arises. Even if the most popular name is that of Carlo Conti, there is a certain difficulty in receiving an ok. Also because no one wants to deal with the golden legacy of Amadeus.
