As the 2026/27 television season progresses, Italian broadcasters have transitioned from schedule planning to active programming. 

Rai 3 is expanding its morning news lineup with the return of ‘Buongiorno Italia’ and ‘Buongiorno Regione’ on September 14. These programs aim to strengthen local connections through news, technology, and public service coverage, utilizing new studio innovations such as touch screens. Investigative programming on Rai 3 has also resumed, with Massimo Giletti’s ‘Lo Stato delle Cose’ focusing on the Garlasco murder case and the attack on Sigfrido Ranucci. Additionally, Riccardo Iacona’s ‘Presadiretta’ has returned with an investigation titled ‘Governati dal Fossile,’ examining Italy’s energy dependence on gas.

On Rai 1, the game show ‘Affari Tuoi,’ hosted by Stefano De Martino, continues its run. While some viewers have noted a perceived dip in momentum following the summer break, the program maintains high viewership, competing closely with Mediaset’s ‘La Ruota della Fortuna.’

In the broader media landscape, the second edition of the Avanti! and Avanti! della domenica awards, dedicated to journalism and the value of information, is scheduled to be announced during the ‘La Sinistra è Avanti’ National Festival in Campobasso from September 11 to 13. The jury has recognized several figures for their contributions to political pluralism, including Rita Lofano, Gaspare Borsellino, Andrea Pucci, and Matteo Pucciarelli, with a special recognition for Corriere della Sera to honor its 150th anniversary.

Mediaset’s Rete 4 continues its seasonal programming, including political and economic debates on Nicola Porro’s ‘Quarta Repubblica.’
