Amadeus leaves Rai because of Povia? The revelation behind his departure

Amadeus’s Departure from Rai: What Led to the Decision?

Amadeus’ departure from Rai has sparked curiosity and speculation among fans and industry insiders alike.
The renowned host’s decision to leave the public broadcaster and potentially join Nove has raised questions about the reasons behind this move.
It is rumored that Amadeus might reunite with Fabio Fazio on Nove, following a similar path to Fazio, who departed Rai last year amid contract renewal uncertainties.

Rai’s Efforts to Retain Amadeus

Unlike Fazio, the new Rai management, closely tied to the current government, is reportedly making efforts to convince Amadeus to stay.
Given his unprecedented success in hosting and directing five editions of the Sanremo Festival, which also translated into substantial revenue for the broadcaster, Amadeus is considered a valuable asset that Rai can’t afford to lose.

Rai’s Director General, Giampaolo Rossi, is rumored to be preparing a lucrative offer to renew Amadeus’ contract, set to expire in the summer.
However, signals from Amadeus, somewhat confirmed by Fiorello, suggest that the host may have already made up his mind.

Speculations and Pressures Leading to Amadeus’s Decision

Various speculations surround the irrevocable nature of Amadeus’s decision to depart from Rai.
Reports from Corriere della Sera suggest that the host might be deeply frustrated by political pressures encountered while selecting contestants and the cast for the recent, triumphant edition of the Sanremo Festival.

Amadeus’s contribution to Rai over the years has been significant, not only through the Sanremo Festival but also with successful shows like “Affari Tuoi” and “Soliti Ignoti,” delivering excellent viewership for the broadcaster.

While Amadeus’s masterpiece remains the Sanremo Festival, where he managed to reduce costs while increasing advertising revenue, reports indicate that he might soon depart Rai for Nove, under Discovery’s umbrella, starting from the next TV season.

The decision might have been influenced by pressures preceding the last Sanremo edition, potentially Amadeus’s final one.
The host reportedly felt misunderstood and unprotected, facing continuous pressures regarding the lineup and guest stars.
These factors could soon lead to Rai announcing Amadeus’s departure, triggering speculation about his replacement for future Sanremo editions.
