Amadeus and Warner Bros. Discovery have terminated their contract two years ahead of schedule. The host did not achieve the high ratings expected on the Nove channel, except for the success of La Corrida. For the public, this opens the door to a possible return to Mediaset, where he was already a judge on Amici, while his return to public television seems ruled out.
The audience algorithm that didn't work for Amadeus 📉
From a technical perspective, Amadeus's failure on Nove can be analyzed as a flaw in content optimization for linear platforms. The target audience did not respond to format changes or prime-time scheduling. While La Corrida generated share peaks of 8% thanks to its pure entertainment structure, other programs dropped to 3%, a figure that does not justify advertising investment. The channel's recommendation algorithm also failed to retain a young audience.

Amadeus now seems like a castaway searching for a signal at sea. His professional future is uncertain, but he promises news soon. Perhaps his next project will be opening a cooking channel where he only teaches how to make pasta, or a reality show where contestants compete to see who can last the longest without changing the channel. Meanwhile, Warner is already erasing his name from Nove's archives.
