Infante joins Mediaset, clash over Rai's 'Ore 14

Entities: Rete 4 · Monica Leofreddi · Manuela Moreno · Rai · Milo Infante

Overview

Veteran journalist Milo Infante left Rai in early June 2026 after a dispute over the scheduling of his daytime programmes “Ore 14” and “Ore 14 Sera”. Rai installed Salvo Sottile as his replacement, while Infante accepted a senior editorial role at Mediaset. By mid‑June the network offered him a prime‑time slot and a directorship of its Videonews division, which he confirmed on 12 July. The move sparked public exchanges between Infante, Sottile and Rai CEO Giampaolo Rossi, and prompted speculation of a September reshuffle of Rai’s flagship schedule.

In July Mediaset detailed its autumn 2026 lineup. Infante will anchor the two‑hour morning show “Ore 11” on Rete 4, debuting 24 August after the TG 4 bulletin, and will host an as‑yet‑untitled Tuesday‑evening current‑affairs programme. The schedule also adds documentary series “Giganti – I protagonisti della storia”, moves “È sempre Cartabianca” to Wednesday evenings, and introduces new weekend titles such as “Realpolitik”. Pier Silvio Berlusconi said the network will assess audience results without preset targets.

A video featuring journalist Manuela Moreno suggested that former Rai commentator Monica Leofreddi may leave Rai to become a permanent opinionist alongside Infante on Mediaset. The same report confirmed Infante’s forthcoming two‑week afternoon slot on Canale 5 starting 24 August and a prime‑time series “Verità nascoste” slated for 1 September. The developments underline Mediaset’s push to expand its news output while Rai works to protect its flagship brands amid ongoing scheduling tensions.
