Sanremo gets 9.4 mn viewers on 3rd night

(ANSA) - Sanremo, February 7 - A total of 9.409 million viewers, or 46.7% of the overall audience share, watched the third night of Italy's popular Sanremo song festival on State broadcaster RAI's flagship Rai1 channel, according to data released Friday on the previous night. The viewer data was in line with the second night of the fest directed for the second consecutive year by singer and song-writer Claudio Baglioni. It was inevitably down on the 10.825 million pulled on the third night in 2018, which had an audience share of 51.6%, the highest since 1999.
    Among the highlights of Thursday's show from Sanremo's Ariston theater was a performance by much loved singer Antonello Venditti.
