News and changes a Afternoon 5. Mediaset has once again upset the Canale 5 schedule, thus changing the date of the last episode of the season. A season that was not particularly easy despite expectations Pier Silvio Berlusconi on the arrival of Myrta Merlinwhich took the place of Barbara D’Urso (now off TV for a year after a career of over thirty years). In recent months, infotainment born in 2008 has not shone in TV ratings and has been repeatedly beaten by Life live by Alberto Matano.
Myrta Merlino, when Afternoon 5 ends
According to an indiscretion spread by Dagospia, Myrta Merlino would have greeted the viewers of Afternoon 5 Thursday 30 May and in the last episodes it would have been replaced by Giuseppe Brindisi, the colleague who took his place several times during the winter in cases of emergency and need. However, according to what Davide Maggio now reports, Myrta will remain at the helm of the afternoon program for a few more days.
“A handful more episodes for Afternoon Five. We can tell you that Canale5’s afternoon program will conclude the 2023/2024 season later than the initial calendar (the date was June 7). Myrta Merlin will bring the curtain down on the program on Friday 14 June“, assured the TV expert. No confirmation or denial from the blonde presenter, who may not return to lead the show in September.
Due to unsatisfactory ratings, the former face of La7 should be replaced. He would be in the running Cesara Buonamicieven if the journalist is very busy between Tg5 and the Big Brother (where she was reconfirmed as a commentator). Not only that: Buonamici, as the weekly magazine Oggi reports, doesn’t feel strongly about the project.
It cannot be ruled out the arrival of Simona Branchettianother face of Canale 5 news, who presented the summer version of Afternoon 5. “But there could be a Merlin encore“, clarified the Roberto D’Agostino portal. After all, it was Pier Silvio Berlusconi in person who strongly wants Myrta in place of Barbara D’Urso and therefore could grant her a second chance despite the unsatisfactory results.
For the entire television season Afternoon 5 was beaten by Life live by Alberto Matano. The former half-bust of the Tg1 some time ago he let slip a dig at Myrta Merlino: “The results speak for themselves, today as yesterday. The bond with our audience is very strong and the idea that at 5pm one television in four is turned on for us makes me proud – you said – “Compared to the past I have noticed that we have become even more of a source of inspiration for the competition. I’m glad to hear it”. The reference is to some guests and commentators of Life live which they then moved on to Afternoon 5.
For example Anna Pettinelliwhich was Alberto Matano’s guest for a long time and then moved to Afternoon 5. “Compared to the 300 euros received by Anna in Rai, Mediaset raised it with a compensation of 1000 euros per guest, more than triple,” Alberto Dandolo revealed in this regard. A move that, however, was not enough weaken Life liveOn the contrary.
