She was a real important celebrity on Italian TV, being ahead of our society, in the past
Yesterday night, RAI1 showed some older archive bits at 8:35pm, as part of Techetechete', and later at around 9:50pm (although it should've been broadcast earlier, they had technical and logical issues to solve, at the last moment! Typical RAI), the first episode of the Italian edition of "Surprise Surprise" (Carràmba che sorpresa!) from 1995 which was sadly shown zoomed in to 16:9, as it was 4:3.
Even break bumpers were changed in mourning mood

That's the moment when we learned about her death

I dunno if this is true, but she may have contributed to Italy's big return to Eurovision in 2011. Also she presented the Italian points at the final in Dusseldorf that year too.

It was not only popular in Italy, but also in Spain. She hosted many programmes for Televisión Española, including a popular TV show on TVE1 in the 90s, 'Hola Raffaela', based on a popular Argentinian TV show hosted by Susana Giménez. She retired, eventually, from Spanish TV, during the 60 year celebration of TVE (which was panned by critics and viewers, but Carrà's performance was well-received). With this story, TVE modified its programming and did rebroadcast an episode of 'Viaje al centro de la tele' focusing on her on TVE1, whilst on TVE2 they rebroadcast an episode of 'Tesoros de la tele' focusing on that particular programme I've mentioned.

As mentioned too in the Eurovision forum, Carrà was also the frontrunner to host Eurovision 2022, sadly, this won't happen. This was commented by Rai director general Steffano Coletta during breaking news coverage on Rai News 24.

Man, I wish more networks were able to sponsor brands with unique idents
I think the keyword here is "unique", not "sponsor". :?
Otherwise you'll have monstrosities like this (Coincidentally sponsored by McDonalds):

The product placement here is basically dispensable: You can cut out the product shot and still get a mediocre ident.
Also VRT themselves started revamping their corporate image to include a bit more colour.

Here's a TV2 Zulu Denmark continuity.
Since internal ad breaks are not permitted, on Danish-licensed channels, the breaks between shows tend to be quite long, in this case, about 7-8 mins!
But more importantly, the presentation, tends to be intermediate between the German one and the Scandinavian/Nordic one.
More like the Dutch one (notice how credits are treated, the lack of a proper ident, and the many "innovative" interactions between the various promos and ads)
In the rest of Scandinavia, things tend to be more... British

For context, Zulu is TV 2's youth-oriented channel, with a strong focus on comedy. Zulu's brand is somewhat independent (there's little reference to "TV 2"), but is nevertheless in the same overall family in the terms of design.
Other channels include TV 2 Charlie, which skews to an older audience (lots of the classic British crime mysteries and the like); and TV 2 Fri, a house/garden/lifestyle channel. There's also TV 2 News and two Sport channels. In addition, TV 2's on demand platform (TV 2 Play) has additional linear streaming offers with children's programming, stand-up comedy and e-sports.
Yep, and thanks for this description!
But thinking about it, Denmark also receives a few pan-Scandinavian operations (especially on pay TV: recently Discovery Channel's have been unified all over Scandinavia, probably because of Discovery+), and many operations run from either Sweden or the UK, anyway,.
So, channels like more "lowbrow" TV3 and Discovery's Kanal 4 , Kanal 5 and 6'eren, have a more "Scandinavian" feel to them, which is historically inspired by British TV.
It's mostly DR (the national broadcaster) and TV2 that are more, well.. Danish/core European
ViacomCBS channels though (channels like Paramount Network and Nickelodeon; now Nickelodeon Scandi has been dropped in favor of a merged Iberia+Scandinavia+Wallonia feed!), are run from either Germany or the Netherlands, in terms of management.
So yeah, these population-wise small countries have always been kind of a "miss mash", but not as much as Central and Eastern Europe (mostly except Russia and surrounding areas)
it goes also without saying that it's mostly DR (naturally) and TV2 that operate under Danish jurisdiction.
The rest used to operate under a British license, which has now moved (because of Brexit) to Germany, the Netherlands, Czechia, Sweden (which has become laxer); and even Spain, on a company by company basis.
This means that they can show adverts more freely and have internal ad breaks (since Denmark is restrictive on internal ad breaks, and I believe even in the kind of ads that can be shown), mostly with the same type of frequency of UK TV
