Ranucci Weighs La7 Switch as Cairo Plans End-of-Month Meeting

Any move would follow his October 28 return to Rai3, with a new title required because Rai owns the Report brand.

Overview

  • LaPresse reports a decisive meeting between Urbano Cairo and Sigfrido Ranucci is expected by the end of the month to discuss a possible move to La7.
  • Multiple outlets describe active talks for an investigative program at La7 that could not use the Report name due to Rai’s trademark.
  • Reports say La7’s proposal includes a primetime show, a secondary “laboratory” slot for young reporters, and publishing opportunities such as instant books with Solferino.
  • Coverage outlines a deteriorating relationship between Ranucci and Rai over scheduling, cuts to new episodes and repeats, and a public protest at the palinsesti presentation in Naples.
  • Ranucci is scheduled to return with Report on Rai3 on October 28, and any transfer, if finalized, would likely take effect in the following season.
