[11] In addition, PrimaFestival, the introductory segment aired before each of the nights and during the opening red carpet, was hosted by Paola & Chiara, Mattia Stanga and Daniele Cabras.

[69][70] In addition, the event was aired on a number of local broadcasters across different countries: With an average share of 74.1% and a total of 14.301 million viewers, the 2024 final achieved the highest viewership values since 1995 and 1998, respectively.

[81] During a gala organised by RadioMediaset [it] at Villa Nobel on 5 February on the occasion of the opening of the festival week, the local police received an anonymous call alerting about the presence of a bomb, and the venue was evacuated.

[82][83] The following day, a similar alert for the Teatro Ariston also proved to be unjustified and the caller was identified shortly after; he confessed to intentionally giving a false alarm [it] in order to disrupt the competition, and was scheduled for prosecution.

[84] On 7 February, RAI's CEO Roberto Sergio announced that the broadcaster would take disciplinary measures against one of its journalists following a "denigratory tweet" directed at the physical appearance of contestant BigMama.

In turn, Ghali received praise by the president of the Association of Palestinians in Italy, Mohammad Hannoun, during a demonstration in the artist's home city of Milan.

The following day, live on the show Domenica in hosted by Mara Venier, Ghali responded to Bar's accusation by recalling his long personal history of speaking out on such topics, pointing out that "this thing has been going on for a while" and claiming that "terror politics" prevents people from freely calling for peace.

Shortly after, Venier read out a statement by RAI's CEO Roberto Sergio with an expression of his "heartfelt and staunch" solidarity to "the people of Israel and the Jewish community".

[89] In response, pro-Palestinian demonstrations broke out between 13 and 17 February outside RAI's production centres of Naples, where a number of protesters were injured in clashes with the police;[90] Turin [it], where glass bottles, eggs and smoke bombs were thrown;[91] and Milan [it];[92] as well as outside the broadcaster's general headquarters in Rome[93] and its regional offices in Bari [it], Bologna [it], Bolzano [it], Cagliari [it], Cosenza, Florence [it], Genoa [it], Palermo [it], Perugia [it], Pescara [it], Trento [it], Trieste [it] and Venice [it].

[104] Amadeus responded to Bar's comments by stating that "any war in the world must be stopped" and adding that the competing artists sent messages of "peace, freedom of thought, racial equality, values", in line with the "inclusive" spirit of the festival.

[106] Lega Nord senator Alessandro Morelli, serving as governmental undersecretary, suggested the implementation of banning orders for artists who make "political propaganda" on public television, similarly to the ones in place under Italian law for people who disrupt sporting events [it];[107][108] following heavy criticism, including by Sanremo entrant Fiorella Mannoia,[107] Morelli stated that his proposal was meant as a "provocation", while defending his position over the artists' use of public platforms.
