The future of Caterina Balivo would now be uncertain. The indiscretion of a sudden change of schedule, which could lead to the cancellation of his quiz, stood out. This is why in any case the presenter could return to TV.
A first shutdown had already taken place on September 23, with very little notice. The political elections of September 25 have disrupted the entire calendar and all the television channels have decided to broadcast various political information to help voters choose and vote correctly.

Even Caterina Balivo’s program had therefore suffered a forced stop due to the new programming of La7. Already on this occasion, however, several controversies had arisen regarding the ratings recorded by Lingo – Parole in Gioco, the television format re-proposed after so long that it seemed not to have thrilled viewers.
Caterina Balivo, this is why the future is now uncertain
Lingo – Parole in Gioco has indeed garnered an average of 1% television share, or just over 130,000 viewers per episode. It can happen that a new program at the beginning has difficulty taking off, as for example also happened to Intercom Rai 2, which in the first weeks of broadcasting had much lower audiences than at the end of the season .

Lingo – Parole à Gioco started on September 12, Monday through Friday from 6:40 p.m. The quiz never managed to gain more viewers. Most likely, the program will not even celebrate the first month of broadcasting. A drastic decision would therefore have been taken without attempting any change.
Is it possible that the stop at Lingo is only temporary?
La7 would have taken the decision to cancel the format of the calendar. The portal www.davidemaggio.it does not exclude the possibility that there will be a temporary shutdown, and in any case it is later decided to return again to offer Lingo – Parole in Gioco. From now on, the future of Caterina Balivo is really uncertain: what will she do on TV? Host Caterina Balivo at the Vincent Van Gogh exhibition at Palazzo Bonaparte, Rome (Instagram photo).
To replace the game show directed by Caterina Balivo, there will be an in-depth program, Political Journal. The conductor will be Enrico Mentana and will transport the spectators to the news at 8:00 p.m. This program will be broadcast until the formation of the new government. Soon after, will there be a chance for Lingo to return to television?
