Tension during the live broadcast of Pomeriggio 5 news: Simona Branchetti lost her patience and invited the guests to moderate some tones.
Simona Branchetti, historical face of TG5, is today at the helm of Afternoon 5 News. The journalist acquired the baton from Myrta Merlino who concluded her first season at Mediaset not without controversy. Despite the less than excellent ratings, Mediaset management confirmed Merlino at the helm of Pomeriggio 5 also for next year. Taking over from Barbara D’Urso for Merlino was not easy, but Pier Silvio Berlusconi is certain that the journalist will be able to win over the public.
Afternoon 5 News receives widespread acclaim and viewers like Simona Branchetti. The afternoon talk of the Biscione network deals with of current affairs and news topics, and provides further details and insights into some events of daily interest. Among the editors and correspondents there are several faces who work at Afternoon 5 news and who try to provide the most accurate service possible. Despite Branchetti’s proven professionalism during the live broadcast there is no shortage of unexpected events, which up to now have been managed best by the presenter.
In the last few days the TG5 journalist has handled a decidedly unpleasant situation. After having sent the report of a violent argument that took place between neighbors in a place in the province of Catania, Branchetti connected with the correspondent who was on site to interview the alleged witnesses to the fight. During the live broadcast, the unthinkable happened, a woman intervened, insulting the interviewee: “Drink less! Drunk, you must drink less!”
Simona Branchetti: “…Insults on live TV, no…”
“No, but now… Has Fabio calmed down? If the lady wants to intervene, fine… No to insults live…”this is how Branchetti filmed the lady who broke in during the live broadcast. The presenter then invited the person in question to tell his version of events: “Sand the lady wants to intervene, we gladly accept her testimony so we also have her story, given which was called into question by the guest…I understand it is the object of the dispute between the two men…”
The lady did not want to speak, and Branchetti continued the live broadcast by inviting her colleague on site to take control of the situation: “He doesn’t want to talk, we’ll talk…” Person However, she did not stop shouting and turned against of the witness in a threatening and unfriendly manner.
Simona Branchetti has thus decided to close the link because the live appeared unmanageable, the situation could have worsened. The always composed presenter managed, in a professional way, to get out of the embarrassment and understood that the only way to move forward was to turn off the cameras.
