Italian term or phrase: inserto
"...Ciò che emerge è che il Tg1 appare “combattuto” fra due logiche: una che vuole questo telegiornale “istituzionale”, dunque, serio, ufficiale; l’altra che invece, periodicamente, tenta di “alleggerirlo” mediante inserti più di intrattenimento..."

Grazie.

Filler


Explanation:
"In the early days of television, ... a standard recording would be used to fill-in. ... Interludes or interstitials are small items used to fill gaps in TV schedules. In the USA, these have their roots in the old Saturday afternoon horror movies hosted on independent stations."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filler_(media)

Example sentence(s):
  • "We can propose filler content (1'-20'), short news magazine (3'-26'), a catalogue of series or unique documentaries (26'-52') as well as some full features films coming from selected partners."

agree  Michael Korovkin: an insert is an insert is an insert is an interlude? + I know what I'd call them: a showbuz soft-porn suppository. Now we have them everywhere, from supermarkets to the office of Prime Minister. Il popolino li gode, chi più li ha più li mette.
