Rete 3 is, in the intents, focused on the local realities, with programs and news realized by the RAI regional offices; however, for years it will be a “ghost channel”, lacking of means and ignored by the public. [5]
In 1979, the Italian private televisions have a breakthrough: the most active buy massively films and American telefilms, hire RAI stars as Mike Bongiorno and Pippo Baudo and begin to broadcast in National scope (the rule forcing them to operate only locally is bypassed, airing on several local stations the same show, prerecorded on videotape). Particularly dynamic is the Silvio Berlusconi’s Telemilano 58.
Among the foreign productions, the hit of the year is the American Holocaust , with 20.2 million viewiers. [1]
