Maria De Filippi spoke about Mediaset’s decision to challenge C’è posta per te with the final of Sanremo 2023.
This year Mediaset has decided not to leave the field open to San Remo 2023indeed, You’ve Got Mail and will collide with the final from the singing festival, an unequal fight even for Maria De Filippi’s battleship. The presenter of the program who, according to the rumors, had not taken Pier Silvio Berlusconi’s decision well, officially spoke about it during an interview with FqMagazine.
Mediaset had been shutting down programming during the Sanremo week for years, leaving the field free for the kermesse, which favored Rai’s full ratings at that time of year. This year the flagship programs of the Cologno Monzese company, from Big Brother Vip to C’è Posta per Te, will be aired regularly.
The rumors said that Maria De Filippi had not taken the decision well. Now the presenter of There is mail for you has broken the silence. In the interview with FqMagazine you said: “My editor legitimately asked that the programming of ‘You’ve Got Mail’ continue as normal even during the week of the Sanremo Festival. ‘You’ve Got Mail’ has been airing on Saturdays for years and has therefore been kept on the same programming day“.
Speaking of the battle of the share, which for once sees her as an underdog, Maria De Filippi added: “Hearing about a challenge seems absurd to me, it would be unreasonable and downright presumptuous on my part and on anyone who might think so. I know I work in a private television where commercial logic is important, I am aware of it and I understand it. I consider Sanremo, net of any logic of normal programming or counter-programming as you prefer, a fundamental event for Italian music and also for me“.
