Matrix is an Italian news and talk show television program, broadcast on Canale 5, from 2005 to 2020, and rerun on Mediaset Plus. It was a rival program of RAI flagship news program Porta a Porta.
Background
[edit]The program was created in 2005 by Enrico Mentana and Le Iene author Davide Parenti, with Mentana hosting the show.[1] Broadcast three times a week in the late night slot, the program progressively improved its ratings, reaching a 18% ratings share.[1] Mentana left the show in 2009, when he resigned after the network opposed his idea of following the Eluana Englaro euthanasia case with a special episode of the program in favour of the reality show Grande Fratello.[1] He was replaced by CNN journalist Alessio Vinci.[1]
