On July 9, 2025, Pier Silvio Berlusconi, CEO of MFE-Mediaset, outlined the new programming strategy for the upcoming Mediaset season during the presentation of the network's palinsesti. Berlusconi described MFE-Mediaset as the leading European broadcaster and emphasized a shift toward more information-based content with fewer reality shows. He criticized the reality programs hosted by Diletta Leotta and Ilary Blasi, calling them among the worst ever seen. Additionally, Berlusconi announced upcoming changes to the long-running show "Striscia la Notizia," which will become more modern starting in November, thanks to the involvement of Antonio Ricci. He also commented on the game show "Affari Tuoi," describing it as a "game close to gambling." The new season will feature the debut of Giambruno's program and the return of Ventura to "Grande Fratello" (GF), while Merlino will remain on the sidelines. Berlusconi characterized these changes not as a revolution but as an evolution of Mediaset's offerings. The remarks have sparked discussion within Forza Italia, with Antonio Tajani noting the need for new faces and expressing a forward-looking stance.
