Rai Educational
In 2009 Rai Educational remained
true to its public service broadcasting
role, creating top quality analytical
programmes, proposing them both on
general-interest TV and on the two digital
channels, Rai Storia and Rai Scuola. Rai
Educational's big commitment to
production during 2009 was rewarded,
within the sphere of national and
international events, with the highest
number of acknowledgments compared
to the other Rai Managements and
Networks: a grand total of 21 awards to
programmes, with 11 going to La Storia
Siamo noi, 5 to Magazzini Einstein, 2 to
Explora Science Now!, 1 to FuoriClasse
Canale Scuola lavoro, 1 to Un Mondo a
colori e and 1 to the RaiEdu 1 channel.
On general-interest TV, we find the titles
that characterise the production of Rai
Educational.
La Storia Siamo noi � aired in the usual
morning slots on RaiTre, the very late
night slot on Wednesday on RaiTre and
the late night slot on Wednesday on
RaiDue.
The programme's usual approach to the
topics of history past and soon to be, is
based on meticulous use of documents,
reports by the participants and film clips.
The introduction of the new DTT theme
channel, Rai Storia, enables a further
expansion of the broadcasting project,
via the recovery of previously
unpublished materials, the combination
(by analogy or contrast) with documents
from Rai Teche, the proposal of the
programmes to different audience targets
on several days and at different times.
Crash: contatto, impatto, convivenza is
the title of a new Rai Educational
programme born of the experience of
Un mondo a colori, broadcast on
RaiDue at 9:45 a.m. and in the very
late night slot on RaiTre with specials.
Crash is a weekly analysis programme,
featuring reportages, inquiries and
current affairs, in which, also with the
aid of studio debates, all the aspects
linked to the most important
phenomenon to affect our country in
recent years, immigration, are
discussed.
In its mission as public service
broadcaster, Rai has to constantly
monitor the developments of a
situation which is becoming
increasingly difficult, and sometimes
characterised by conflict, as time goes
by and the immigrant population gets
bigger and bigger.
The aim of Crashis to explain to
television audiences what is going in
Italy since our country has become a
Country of mass immigration, showing
the different stances taken by the
political forces and the world of
culture and associationism. It
compares the experiences of other
European countries which began
taking in immigrants twenty years
before Italy and tackles the delicate
debate regarding intercultural
exchange and inter-religious
communication.
Extensive space is dedicated to the
consequences of the economic
recession and respect for human rights
among weaker areas of the population,
including immigrants: women, children,
the unemployed, the problem of illegal
immigration and the exploitation of
workers paid cash in hand.
RaiTre's Saturday morning slot from 9
until 11 is occupied once again by Tv
Talk, the analytical programme and talk
show on TV, with the participation of
communications experts, university
students and professors and the
television celebrities themselves. It is
followed by Art News, the weekly
programme on current affairs in the
world of Italian and international art ad
culture.
The new titles include:
- Teatro in corto, on air in RaiTre very
late night slot, proposes an
anthological journey of about 50
years in contemporary drama.
- Big 'Grandi � si diventa', on air in
RaiTre very late night slot, offers an
unprecedented presentation, with a
long studio interview, of the lives of
public figures who have accompanied
our lived with their work as artists,
doctors, politicians, sportsmen and
women and writers.
The biggest innovation in 2009 was
definitely the consolidation within DTT
of the identity of the Rai Storia
channel. Now, over a year after its
launch, Rai Storia, with a glance at the
past of the Rai Teche and at the
present of La Storia Siamo Noi, looks
to the future with a richer and richer
programming which combines the facts
of the present with the weight of
history.
Since 1 November 2009, 13 hours of
new programming every day to propose
the best of historical production in the
European and world panorama.
RES is the programme around which
the programming of Rai Storia
revolves, proposing the rebroadcasting
of documents taken from
the Teche and making specific
programmes like:
- Come eravamo, snippets from the
past to rediscover the way we were,
how we related to the television, how
we expressed our feelings, with
amateur films collected by the Teche
or sent in by viewers;
- 100 Secondi con.., 100 very special
seconds entrusted to seven professors,
one for each day of the week. Every
day, from Monday to Sunday, the
day's most important historical event
is taken up, commented on and
analysed by a historian.
Dixit, television instruments to
understand the world around us, from 9
p.m. to 11 p.m., in prime time, is the
new analytical programme occupying 5
evenings. A series of theme-based
itineraries presented to viewers for
constructive use of the documents,
sources, testimonials, problems and
possible solutions. From the classic
appointment with the history of the
Second World War to the news events of
yesterday and today, to the great
biographies of international politics,
great scientific discoveries and, to end
with, music, film and entertainment, with
unprecedented clips, indiscreet
anecdotes, atmospheric scenarios and
unforgettable music in a single story of
the uses and history of our country.
Another prime time programme was
Rewind, broadcast on Saturday and
proposing great men in great
programmes.
But Rai Storia is also the consolidated
production of Rai Educational:
Magazzini Einstein, Cult book, Scrittori
per un anno, Visioni private.
In November 2008, Rai Storia, which
was still RaiEdu 2 at the time, had an
average monthly share of 0.01%,
registering an average monthly share of
0.11% in December 2009, which
reached 0.12% in prime time.
