Industry Ministry Undersecretary
for Communications Antonello Giacomelli on Wednesday said that
beginning in May, State broadcaster RAI will offer a public
forum for citizens to express their ideas on changes they'd like
to see.
The programme is called "CambieRai" which is a play on
words highlighting the name RAI within the verb for "you'll
change".
"For the first time in Italy the government is promoting a
public consultation, CambieRai, that involves the entire
country," Giacomelli said on the RAI 3 show Agorà.
Meanwhile, the head of parliament's RAI oversight
commission, Michele Anzaldi of the Democratic Party (PD), on
Wednesday responded to RAI's new industrial plan, details of
which RAI CEO Antonio Campo dell'Orto presented on Tuesday.
"Advance details on the new RAI industrial plan: more
directors with mega stipends, less news. Does it respect the
Public Service contract?" Anzaldi tweeted.
The industrial plan provides for a reduction in news
broadcasts and channels, in particular RAI Sport, which would be
reduced from two channels to one following the 2016 Summer
Olympics.
