Rete 4 drops Quarta Repubblica for film in summer schedule

On July 6 2026 the Mediaset channel Rete 4 did not broadcast the political talk show Quarta Repubblica. The evening slot was filled by a news bulletin at 4 p.m. followed by the movie L’uomo che sussurrava ai cavalli, confirming that the program’s absence is part of a seasonal programming change rather than a cancellation.

The next day, July 7 2026, Mediaset aired a new episode of the long‑running legal‑talk show Forum on both Canale 5 and Rete 4. Hosted by Barbara Palombelli, the episode was made available online as a full‑length video, continuing the programme’s tradition of presenting everyday legal disputes to a broad audience.

Both items illustrate how Mediaset manages its summer lineup, alternating live news, films and repeatable formats while offering on‑demand access through Mediaset Infinity.
