On Rai, Mediaset, and free-to-air channels, an evening between cinema and drama. From 'Doc' to 'Tutto per la mia famiglia,' passing through classics like 'Investigation of a Citizen...'
Thursday, October 29, 2026, the television schedule offers a wide selection of prime-time entertainment. On Rai 1, two new episodes of the fourth season of the drama 'Doc – In Your Hands' air, while Canale 5 presents the series 'Everything for My Family.' Free-to-air channels dedicate ample space to cinema: on Rai Movie at 9:10 PM, the classic 'Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion' by Elio Petri is scheduled; Iris broadcasts 'Air Force One' with Harrison Ford; and TV8 airs 'The Equalizer 3' with Denzel Washington.
On the programming front, Rai 2 offers 'Ore 14 di Sera' hosted by Salvo Sottile; on Italia 1, 'Le Iene' returns; and on Rete 4, 'Dritto e Rovescio' airs. Streaming platforms also feature new releases, including the series 'Crystal Lake' on HBO Max and the thirteenth season of 'American Horror Story' on Disney+. The complete TV guide lists all movies airing on the main free channels.
The Italian television schedule is traditionally divided between the public networks of the Rai group and the private networks of the Mediaset group, featuring programming that alternates between dramas, films, entertainment shows, and in-depth programs. Thursday evenings have historically been dedicated to high-appeal content, such as premiering TV series, to capture audiences before the weekend. TV guides, like those regularly published by specialized portals, were created to help viewers navigate the vast offerings of linear channels and streaming platforms, which in recent years have multiplied the options.
Medical dramas like 'Doc – Nelle tue mani,' now in its fourth season, represent a well-established successful genre, while films aired on thematic channels (such as Rai Movie, Iris, or TV8) often replay classics or recent cinema titles, allowing for free viewing. Infotainment and political deep-dive programs (like 'Le Iene,' 'Dritto e Rovescio,' or 'Piazzapulita') instead characterize the prime-time slots of generalist channels, reflecting the habit of combining entertainment and current affairs. Today's programming thus follows established patterns, offering a mix of content for different target audiences.
