Live of the Palio, after Rai arrives La7?
The July Palio is almost upon us and, if on the one hand many aspects have now been defined, one point still remains to be outlined. What concerns the live television of the race. An element that has been in the balance for some years now. The contract with Rai in fact was already expiring, but the absence of the Palio from 2019 has postponed the decision.
The Consortium for the protection of the Palio, which manages and controls all the images produced, has already been working for some time for careers. The new board of the consortium, elected a few months ago, is in fact defining the final elements for the new contract with the broadcaster that will broadcast the live broadcast of the Palio. The relationship with Rai is now historical, which has been broadcasting running and historical walks almost continuously since the 1950s. A link that binds Siena with national TV which, however, may not be reconfirmed.
In fact, these other national broadcasters can also be interested in the Palio di Siena, the most accredited would appear to be La7. News not yet confirmed by the Consortium for the Protection of the Palio, which however, given the now very tight deadlines, should communicate the television network with which Siena will be linked for the next few years.. In the event of a break with Rai, there would be a total change for the national live broadcast of the Palio compared to the past. A fundamental knot for the image of our party and for its future.
