TG3

The Tg3 is immediately recognisable by its originality, its live coverage, the way it tells stories, especially those which are otherwise overlooked and hidden.

The commitment is to help viewers to formulate their own opinion, providing all the useful elements, information, background and characterisers and telling the changes in society which take place every day, either right next door or far away from us.

A choice which is rewarded by viewers despite the multiplication of sources of on-line information which pre-empt more traditional media.

The main edition of the Tg3, which goes on air at 7.00 p.m., occupies a stable third place among the evening editions of all the Tg journals and has increased its viewing figures compared to last year, reaching a share of 14.62% with about 2,200,000 viewers.

The figures for the lunchtime Tg at 12.00, the only Rai national news programme broadcast from Milan, are also excellent, with a 13.84% share.

The viewing figures for Linea Notte, an hour of news and information presented live from midnight until one a.m., are very flattering, and this programme is highly innovative compared to the traditional nighttime news programmes.

A Tg which talks about society, with its changes, contradictions and conflicts, particularly attentive to the categories of the so-called "weak subjects" who only make a marginal appearance in traditional news programmes and find specific spaces and attention in the Tg3.

Tg3 Lis � on air every day, using sign language for over six hundred thousand hearing impaired viewers. Gt Ragazzi, a real news programme created especially for younger viewers, attentive to language and pictures.

In the informative vocation developed by Tg3 over the years, it is worth indicating the weekly appointments that focus on women, immigrants, consumers, agriculture, minor entertainment and new technologies, with the features Shukran, Punto Donna, Agri3, Cifre in chiaro, Chi è di scena, Sabato notte, Pixel and Persone.

Then there's Agenda del mondo with the foreign political reportages comprising the stories and everyday lives of people who are not necessarily famous but are highly representative of the situations discussed.

The Tg3 has always paid particular attention to the search for new languages in order to offer better information.

With this in mind, the Tg website is a vital instrument for seeing the editions and features again, for following events and live broadcasts on line, but also for search for all the services that have marked the thirty-year history of the Tg3.

A history characterised by continuity but also by constant renewal which, since October, has been under the direction of Bianca Berlinguer.
