“You listen to them on New ones Aren’t they tall yet? I’m not a Pied Piper, it doesn’t work that way. Il Nove is an ambitious channel and is trying to become generalist. For this to happen it takes time. If I move to the Nine with a known program, patience is needed.”
To say it is Amadeusduring a live broadcast on Rtl102.5, talking about the ratings of his new program on Nove, ‘Chissà chi è’. “The public has habits of tuning in to certain channels, this is not a given. Little by little it arrives, but it takes time, and I knew this. I said in the press conference that we start from three: every additional share point equals 5 or 6 points more than a generalist channel”, explains the presenter. Amadeus reveals that he is not free from bitterness about criticism: “The criticism? I would be lying if I said that I didn’t suffer from it at all. But I was used to five years of Sanremo, where I accumulated a series of controversies, many of them specious. This helps you go straight on your way,” he says.
“If you waste time feeling bad or replying, you get distracted and lose energy. I have to concentrate the energy only on my objective“. There is then space for a joke about his next programme, La Corrida, in which Amadeus announces the idea of broadcasting the program on the radio too, on Rtl 102.5. “As a child I listened to La Corrida on the radio, it was born on the radio . So the idea, with the President of Rtl 102.5 Lorenzo Suraci, we said to ourselves, why don’t we broadcast live on the radio on Rtl102.5? In addition to being on nine it will be live on the radio. Let’s make this happen.”
Amadeus: It’s a Tall Order with Nove, But I’m Keeping My Head Above Water!
Ah, the world of television! It’s not just about starry-eyed dreams and glittering awards. It’s about ratings, channel hopping, and the occasional crisis of confidence. Our man Amadeus recently graced RTL102.5 with his presence, unveiling the secrets behind his new program on Nove, ‘Chissà chi è’. And believe me, if anyone can make sense of this tangled reality, it’s Amadeus – a man who’s dealt with the bemusing absurdities of showbiz for years.
Pied Piper? More Like a Ratings Rescuer!
Right off the bat, Amadeus dismissed the fanciful notion of being the Pied Piper of television leading audiences to his new channel. “Aren’t they tall yet?” he quipped, and let’s be honest, folks: if channel surfing was an Olympic sport, the average viewer would be hitting the gold medal division right about now! Amadeus knows it’s an uphill struggle getting folks to tune into Il Nove, which is trying to shake off its image and become a mainstream contender.
“For this to happen, it takes time,” he explains, with a patience that rivals a saint. “I said we start from three: every additional share point equals 5 or 6 points more than a generalist channel.” A charming bit of numerology that could either entice investors or confuse your grandma – the critical challenge of modern TV, indeed!
Criticism: A Dangerous Game?
Now let’s talk about the elephant in the room—or should I say the snarky critics sharpening their pencils. Amadeus has bravely admitted that he’s no stranger to the bitter pill of feedback. “I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t suffer from it at all,” he confided. Having spent five years at Sanremo, he’s tackled his fair share of speculation and critique; many unjust, a few perhaps overly generous. He’s learned that when life hands you lemons, it’s best to turn them into a zesty punchline instead of a sour face!
“If you waste time feeling bad or replying, you get distracted and lose energy,” Amadeus rightly observes. Wise words, good people! It’s enough to make anyone grab a cocktail and ponder the mysteries of life – or simply crack on with their jobs without letting the haters win.
La Corrida – The Comeback of Radio Comedy!
And just when you think you’ve heard everything, the entertainer drops his next big gag: a revival of La Corrida, now with a radio twist! “As a child, I listened to La Corrida on the radio…” and it seems nostalgia is the name of the game. Forget rebooting classics on cable; let’s just grab the mic and belt it out where it all started!
Teaming up with President Lorenzo Suraci and RTL102.5, Amadeus declared, “Let’s make this happen!” And when he suggests broadcasting this classic show live on radio, you can already hear the echoes of “It’s alive!” reverberating across the airwaves. Who needs a time machine when you have the power of radio?!
Conclusion: A Time for Patience and Playfulness
So, dear readers, while it may take time for viewers to adapt to Il Nove’s new ambitions, Amadeus is steadfastly forging ahead, armed with humor, determination, and a bit of that Italian flair. He’s not just a presenter; he’s a refreshing reminder that patience is also an act of self-love when under the public lens. Here’s to hoping that as we tune in, we remember to keep our critical comments light, as after all, laughter is the best medicine—and let’s be honest, there’s nothing more painful than a disappointing TV rating!
