Feb. 15 – A television audience that isn’t only Italian is what happens when the 63rd Sanremo Music Festival expands its borders to Albania, Romania and Russia. In fact, the TV channels RTV (Albania), Tvr (Romanian) and Channel One (Russia) are broadcasting live every night of the festival presented by Fabio Fazio and Luciana Littizzetto. For the final tomorrow, BHRT Bosnia will also join the group. The final evening of the Festival will also be offered to the foreign radio circuit Euroradio in delayed broadcast. “It’s a Festival of Ideas,” pointed out a few days ago the director of Rai1 Giancarlo Leone “Sanremo this year focuses on ‘quality and innovation;’ we wanted to do a festival different from previous editions. I hope we’ll have a good response from the public. ” And the public has so far responded well: the average audience of the second night was 11 million 330 thousand viewers and 42.89 % of the share, a result not achieved since 2000, when Sanremo was also conducted by Fazio.
