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.
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.
The programme is generally presented by a single newsreader but with additional newsreaders for the sports. Most items are made up of reports and are generally preceded and followed by the correspondent reporting live from the scene. The programme is followed by a weather report known as Meteo and a financial news report, known as TG1 Economia.
The Undersecretary to Communications Paolo Romani, member of The People of Freedom, in an interview with the newspaper Il Tempo , has defined that the TG1 "seems politically affiliate with the Centre-left". [1]
However it was criticized by the newspaper la Repubblica [2] for political bias in favour of The People of Freedom party and its leader Silvio Berlusconi, when the politician Antonio Di Pietro requested the dismissal of the editor in chief of TG1 Augusto Minzolini, comparing him to Emilio Fede, editor-in-chief of a newscast broadcast by one of Berlusconi's networks. [3]
The opening theme for the newscast has been done by an orchestra since its debut in 1952, although the arrangement has been modernised several times, most recently on 8th October 2023.
