Italian TV

This morning, we have had a little conversation about how television in our country works.
In Italy there are three State's channels, other three privates which belong to Berlusconi and an ocean of local networks. Since Berlusconi is also Prime Minister and, seeing that the Television Guarantor is nominated by the Parlament, therefore he controls everything! :)
In order to watch the firsts three, it need to pay an annual subscription, but the rest of the channels are free, because there are mountains of pubblicity!
Talking with my classmates, the italian programme schedule is not as different as in other countries. There are commercial breaks, spots and all kinds of advertisments. The news are frequently broadcasted. All day long, it may watch different programmes, for all the ages: mainly in the morning some issue for childrens or breakfast TV; in the afternoon soap operas, talk shows and series. From 21:00, "first evening" starts, and it goes on either films or documentary or entertainment shows depending on the chosen channel. Once a year, the Big Brother goes on the air, as other realityrubbish show well!
Every TV-program is watched by guarantor before going off: censorship have a good significance in Italy. It checks and controls the contains' programme. Two lampoon-politic talk show closed mouths because of "being too explicit", and another politic talkshow because criticised the Govern... Unbelievable!
The quality of the italian televison is not as high as those in other countries such as UK. In England you can watch just five channels, but in them, you could see something interesting: there are more educational programmes then in Italy, more news, more films, more or less the same ones reality show, and, at the end, but not last for relevance, less advertisment spots!!!
I hope it changes something in the italian television. I think it needs innovation, new programmes, new presenters, new showmen and showwomen, a new way of interact with the TV, in active way.
