, and one with a DJ. The summer bumpers are the same: six bumpers. In the first there are people singing the summer, in the second with sparkling sound, the third is a fast bumper and the voice starts after a short music, in the fourth there are girls, in the fifth is a romantic song and is the slowest summer bumper and in the last bumper a person says ''Estate'' (summer) at low voice. From 10 September 2018 RDS (Most comes back in other occasion) comes seven new bumper: The first is a long bumper. The second and the third has a Christmas variant, the four is a slow bumper, the fifth and the sixth are the same, but in the sixth after a short music the name is repeat like other bumper, and the final bumper (with guitar and like the fourth bumper with NEW HIT) is (almost) with the similar structure of the fourth bumper before September 10, 2018, but the warning (Selezioniamo le migliori Novità, per trasformarle in grandi successi.) is before Novità that it is said three instead five times and a slower time instead to be Novità before the warning and the slogan (Musica Nuova (New Music)) but RDS is the same: is at end of the bumper like other bumpers: RDS!!! (instruments play the jingle instead people saying it for the first time!). As the first mid of June 2019, RDS adds five new bumpers: The first is a DJ, the second is people saying: ''Voglia d'Estate'' (Italian for Summer Like), the third is a person saying the slogan at rap time, the fourth is a girl saying the slogan and it is not the bumper showed before 20 and 40 minutes, and the final bumper is similar, but the RDS slogan it says two times. However, the six bumper of Summer until 2018 there are used after 30 minutes after RDS Novità without the full bumper replaying some warning (different: Ricordare un emozione, con un successo senza tempo.), similar to New Hit Bumper. In Summer 2020 there are the same. From Christmas 2018, RDS adds two bumper added from 10 September 2018 in Christmas version with bells. The other Christmas Bumpers for 151.54.33.102 are unknown. The 00:00 Time until September 9, 2018 a speaker will say the hour and then the conductors will talk. As of September 10, RDS add a New Bumper where they say the hour and after there are people saying :''Whoo!'' and next the up said bumper. After there all (9 songs), there are music and the Radio name's. In Summer 2020, Rosaria Renna says in what Estate (in English Summer) the song that will play it was famous (from 1980 to 2010 for 30 years).
