Radio1
2009 was the year of alternation in the
management of the news department
between Antonio Caprarica and
Antonio Preziosi. It was a period of
change which the department reacted
to with maturity, guaranteeing
continuity in the flow of information
and responding positively to the new
stimuli.
Numerous big events that characterised
2009 were reported in real time, with
the direct, on-site commitment of the Gr
production staff and the Radio1 team.
These included the tragic earthquake
that struck the people of Abruzzo, the
G8 at L'Aquila, Pope Benedict 16th's trip
to the Holy Land and the floods in
Messina.
Also: the taking of Oath by President
Obama at the White House, the twentieth
anniversary of the Berlin Wall and the
elections in Iran with the public protests,
the attack against the Prime Minister Silvio
Berlusconi in Piazza del Duomo in Milan,
the European elections and the Italian
local elections, the Confederation Cup in
South Africa and the international
showcase, for Italy and Rai, of the World
Swimming Championship in Rome.
All these events were proposed to users
with the maximum use of the workforce,
long live broadcasts, on-line specials,
microphones open for comments by
listeners, analytical moments to offer a
complete range of viewpoints, ensuring
that a plurality of opinions were voiced.
The Giornale Radio is particularly proud
of its decision to go back to Abruzzo on
a regular basis to offer its support to the
local people and really guarantee
complete informative coverage, in
compliance with its mission as a public
service broadcaster.
Alongside the network's leading
personalities, such as Enrica Bonaccorti
(Tornando a casa, from 5.40 p.m. to
7.00 p.m.) and Maurizio Costanzo
(L'uomo della notte, from Monday to
Thursday, after the midnight edition of the
Gr), new formats capable of making the
most of the internal resources were tested.
In particular Start (from Tuesday to
Friday, from 10.30 a.m. to 11.30 a.m.)
developed, in the strategic mid-morning
slot, a synergy between the news
department, Network, Internet team and
Radio1 Musica structure capable of
offering users easy entertainment while
informing them promptly of the latest
news updates. This model was then also
exported to other time slots.
Despite being a season lacking in big
events like the Olympics and the World
Cup, sport succeeded in exploiting its
wealth of experience to relaunch an event which saw Rome and Italy at the
centre of attention of sports enthusiasts
all over the world.
We're talking about the World
Swimming Championship, in which Rai
played a leading role in terms of supply
and services and in which RadioRai was
also essential to the provision of
complete media coverage.
The excellent work on optimising
Radio1's sporting programmes focused
on strengthening titles like
Zona Cesarini, Sabato Sport and
Domenica Sport, which had more guests
and live events, and on enhancing A
tutto campo, the daily appointment with
the analysis of sporting events on air
after the 1.00 p.m. edition of the Gr1.
Radio1 Musica underwent a veritable
revolution. The structure responded to
the challenge launched by Antonio
Preziosi's management, increasing the
generalist profile of the style on which
Radio1's programming is based.
At the same time, it also redesigned the
channel's 'sound', making a big
contribution to the concept and
realisation of programmes like Start and
re-elaborating the presence of live
guests, top quality artists called in not
only to sing and play,
but also to talk about themselves and
answers questions from the public (like
in Invito personale).
Interactive mechanisms with listeners
were also relaunched: live interventions,
text messages and e-mail.
Radio1 and Giornale Radio also
multiplied their commitment and
visibility on the web.
In view of the launch of a new unified
website, envisaged for March 2010, the
Internet team expanded its offering of
news and information on line,
contributing articles and interviews to
the Gr and other programmes. It also
realised live streaming products from
the studio as well as remote events,
covered the Sanremo Festival 2009 with
its own reporter and enhanced its
podcast offering.
Lastly, it laid the foundations for testing
digital radio and using mobile phones
as a source of information through text
and videotext messages. All these
products will be presented in the new
year.
