Barbara D'Urso remains off Italian TV schedules as veto rumors fade

Barbara D'Urso Italian TV veto rumors La7D project media comeback

Italian television presenter Barbara D'Urso has not secured a new program for the upcoming season, marking a continued absence since her departure from Mediaset in 2023. Speculation about a possible veto preventing her return to Rai has persisted, but D'Urso has not confirmed its existence.

A proposed La7D channel built around her, likened to an Oprah‑style format, was abandoned due to high costs, and the channel is now being rebranded as La7Cinema. Pier Silvio Berlusconi has explicitly denied any veto on her employment outside Mediaset, stating the company does not decide where she works. An Instagram post by D'Urso sparked further debate, but no concrete offers have emerged.

Overall, while D'Urso remains a prominent media figure, no television project has been confirmed for her in the short term.
