RaiDue
2010 was a particular year for RaiDue,
which completed the renewal of its
programming with a view to continuity
and contemporaneity, in line with the
directives issued by Company
Management and the resolutions passed
by the Board of Directors, which have
assigned the channel the task of
capturing a dynamic and culturally (not
just physically) young audience.
The decision was made to focus on
unbiased and curious analytically
informative broadcasts; on buying TV
series capable of gluing the whole
new, young and dynamic Italian family
in front of the TV; on high-quality
music; on documentaries and specials
and on cartoons. RaiDue's vast and
broadly differentiated audience has
understood this approach and the
company's project, and has seconded
the effort at renewal, rewarding the
channel which, in the year in which ten
regions and 70% of the population
have switched over to DTT, confirms its
positive trend also in the all-digital
areas.
In a company which has a bouquet of 14
channels, the broadest of all the
European broadcasters, confirming its
position as national leader in terms of
viewing figures by increasing its offering,
RaiDue is obliged to tackle the crossmedia
challenge, concentrating on
greater interactivity and convergence of
its broadcasts and new technologies. Not
restricting the sphere to DTT, it is also
focused on the Internet and the mobile
telephone system, because RaiDue's
'culturally young' public shows its
appreciation and fruition of broadcasts
that are available on a deferred basis,
searching for them on the web.
A soft revolution which has not confused
viewers, despite the introduction of new
elements to programming.
RaiDue is a comprehensive project,
which starts in the morning and
continues through to the late night slot,
offering large amounts of space for
information and journalistic analysis (in
2010 Michele Santoro's Annozero was
joined by L'ultima parola by Gianluigi
Paragone, which has become a
reference point in the Italian journalistic
segment), for large-scale events in the
world of music and in other sectors too,
such as the specials dedicated to Luciano
Pavarotti and Karol Wojtyla, rewarded by
excellent viewing figures. Confirmation
was also received for programmes and
celebrities traditionally associated with
the channel: Quelli che..., X Factor and
L'isola dei famosi, which Simona Ventura
and also Francesco Facchinetti have
helped make appointments not to be
missed for the entire television audience
and critics alike.
Roberto Giacobbo's Voyager has earned
itself an original space, moving along
the fine line between mystery and
knowledge and being able to boast a
prestigious partnership with National
Geographic for four episodes.
RaiDue shares the merit for these
successes and this important productive
effort with the Production Centres in
Milan (where about 70% of the
channel's programmes are produced),
Rome and Turin (for the production of
Voyager and the children's
programmes).
