So the spin off of Pomeriggio Cinque starts today at 5pm on Canale 5. It’s called Pomeriggio Cinque News and will be hosted by the talented Simona Branchetti (photo) for the entire summer period. She will therefore be the face of her who will preside over the afternoon slot of Canale 5 in the coming months in what is a normal rotation.
In short, no surprises. It was the presenter of Pomeriggio Cinque, Myrta Merlino, who announced the change in complete serenity during last Friday’s episode: «I have to tell you something important because from Monday 17 June Pomeriggio Cinque News starts and at the helm with my utmost joy , to my true joy, a woman is going there… Simona Branchetti, to whom I wish her the best of luck and say come on…”.
An alternation between two presenters, a more unique than rare situation. On the one hand, Merlino closed the season of his debut on Canale 5 with the appreciation and reconfirmation from Pier Silvio Berlusconi. On the other hand, Simona Branchetti has another opportunity to show qualities that were already clear not only last summer, when she led Morning News, but already from the time of Sky Tg24 and, then, during the hosting of Tg5. As always, current events and news will dictate the lineup of Pomeriggio Cinque News, which goes live from Studio 1 at the Palatine Hill in Rome. Just to say, today we will deal with one of the most current cases also because it is unsolved, that is, the murder of Pierina Paganelli from Rimini for which her neighbor Louis Dassilva is under investigation. Another topic is that of the bear filmed in the middle of the night while filming in the town of Malè in Val di Sole, in the province of Trento.
Finally, there will be insights into the situation of the royal family of England, after the return to public of Kate Middleton who finally showed herself in public in London the day before yesterday. In essence, the editorial line is confirmed, which is to deal with the topics of daily discussion among viewers with grace and authority. It may not be radical chic, but it is useful. And pleasant too.
