The journalists and journalists of the Rai news, radio and television programs will go on strike on December 29 because once again the CEO Carlo Fuortes chooses to eliminate an information space without an editorial plan and without any confrontation.

After the cancellation of the third edition of the Tgr, now it is the turn of the Tg Sportivo of the night.

A decision that will deprive you citizens of the right to be informed about sporting events: the only space where you can broadcast the Serie A and B goals is canceled, which become the exclusive privilege of those who have the economic possibility to pay a subscription to private operators.

Sports information and information from and to the territories disappear from 8pm until the next day. If this summit has at heart the relaunch and renewal of Rai, open a discussion on the future of the public service. We also ask for it on behalf of the citizens of this country.

Rai is trying to adapt its programming even more to the needs of its audience.

The edition of the Tg Sportivo to be eliminated would be the nocturnal one broadcast on Rai Sport on channels 57 and 58. It is seen by 0.5% of the people who watch television at that time.

There will be no effect for sports fans who will be able to see all the Serie A and Serie B goals on "90º minute", "Domenica Sportiva" and on all the Rai Uno, Rai Due, Rai Tre, RaiNews24 and Rai news programs. Play.
