TG1

TG1 (Telegiornale 1) is the flagship television newscast produced by Rai 1, the main channel of state-owned Italian public broadcaster RAI. It is the longest-running programme in the history of television in Italy as it has been broadcast daily since 3 January 1954. Historically, before the 1976 RAI reforms, it was of vital importance to the national RAI network, as few people in the days of the television monopoly could afford newspapers.

It is shown domestically on Rai 1 and across the world on Rai Italia several times throughout the day. Gian Marco Chiocci is the current editor-in-chief. It was launched as simply Telegiornale, which was later renamed as TG1 in 1975–76. From 1992 to 1993 it was named Telegiornale Uno before reverting to the TG1 name.
