GR Parlamento
The station's mission was attributed by
law in 1998 and is expressed in the
broadcasting Service Contract.
The station, which has been
independent since 2006, also manages
a daily segment on Radio1 dedicated to
parliamentary news and information.
The programming, which begins at 7.30
a.m. is divided between live
parliamentary broadcasts and major
political and institutional events, news
and analyses.
The 14 hours of daily broadcasts (with
an average of 5,000 hours of
broadcasts a year) include: four radio
news programmes on the political
activity of Parliament during the day
(7.30-8.00 a.m. - 1.30-8.30 p.m.), a
look at the newspapers, the updating of
the website and live broadcasts. When
recorded coverage is broadcast, it
concerns the whole political activity of
Parliament, party congresses and
conventions.
A direct, unbroken line which, every day,
enables the complete monitoring,
moment by moment, of the work carried
out by the Chamber, the Senate,
Commissions, the press conferences
and interventions at Palazzo Chigi and the Quirinale, the institutional activities
of the Prime Minister, the Head of State
and the Presidents of the Senate and the
Chamber, as well as the most important
sessions of the Constitutional Court, the
Higher Magistrate's Court and the
Supreme Court.
First-hand documentation which enables
citizens to follow and receive constant
explanations of the provisions under
debate and the procedures underway,
with theme-based segments, debates,
interventions by experts and
commentators.
In addition to the daily appointments
with the Gr, the station analyses all the
aspects of legislative provisions and
political and parliamentary activities,
with 10 weekly segments concerning the
subjects of justice and security, health,
the environment, diet, culture,
ecumenism and sporting policy, and
with specials on Saturday (Radio7) and
Monday (Sessantaminuti) on current
issues, with debates and confrontations
between the leaders of the institutions,
politics and society. Everything is
achieved while keeping company costs
as low as possible, on a minimum
budget.
The arrival of the digital radio age is
opening interest development prospects,
particularly for public service channels,
on which the company ought to reflect.
