The board of State broadcaster RAI on Friday voted to nominate Marcello Foa its new president, sources said. The board also nominated Foa, the government's pick to lead the network, in July, but parliament's oversight body of the State broadcaster failed to ratify the appointment.
This time, however, Foa is expected to get a majority vote as ex-premier Silvio Berlusconi's centre-right Forza Italia party is tipped to drop its opposition.
