Rai set to lose Â70m by year end
Italian public broadcaster Rai has estimated that it will lose up to Â70m this year.
The broadcaster has blamed the economic crisis and, in particular, weak advertising sales, for the poor financial results. However, general director Mauro Masi told local press that the channel has continued support from the government, although losses are expected to continue to increase as a result of the associated costs of airing the 2010 World Cup.
