Milo Infante to lead new 'Ore 11' news show on Mediaset's Rete 4

Mediaset unveiled its 2026‑2027 programming slate for Rete 4, positioning the channel as an information‑focused network. The centerpiece of the revamp is veteran journalist Milo Infante, who will anchor the daily news‑magazine “Ore 11” from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., immediately after the TG4 news bulletin. The format is described as a “experimental, bold move” by Federico di Chio, Mediaset’s strategic marketing director.

Infante will also host a new prime‑time program on Tuesday evenings, though its title remains undisclosed. Other schedule adjustments include moving Bianca Berlinguer’s show to Wednesdays and confirming existing titles such as “Quarta Repubblica”, “Fuori dal Coro”, “Dritto e Rovescio”, “Quarto Grado”, “È Sempre Cartabianca” and “Zona Bianca”. New documentary series “Giganti” will profile historic figures. Pier Silvio Berlusconi emphasized a cautious approach, noting that audience response will be evaluated before setting firm targets.

The strategy aims to strengthen Rete 4’s news and current‑affairs output while maintaining popular talk‑show and entertainment slots on Mediaset’s other channels.
