La7 is an Italian free-to-air television channel owned by Cairo Communication and has another channel named La7 Cinema, which had acquired it from Telecom Italia Media, itself owned by Telecom Italia, in 2013.
La7 features a generalist programming schedule, primarily focused on news, current affairs, and entertainment. The channel is known for its in-depth political analysis, talk shows, and investigative journalism, often serving as an alternative to Italy's major public and commercial broadcasters.
The official voice-over announcer of La7 is the renowned dubbing artist Francesco Prando, and advertising sales are managed by Cairo Pubblicità.
The channel is available across Italy via digital terrestrial television, as well as on satellite platforms such as Sky Italia and Tivùsat. It is also accessible in Switzerland through cable providers.
