TG3

The commitment is to help viewers to formulate their own opinion, providing all the useful elements, information, background and characterisers.

It tells 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 Tg3, which goes on air at 7.00 p.m., occupies a stable third place among the evening editions of all the Tg journals, constantly above 14%.
The figures for the Tg broadcast at 2.20 p.m. and the lunchtime Tg at 12.00, the only Rai national news programme broadcast from Milan, are also excellent.

The viewing figures for Linea Notte, an hour of news and information presented live from midnight, are very flattering, and this programme is highly innovative compared to the traditional night-time news programmes. Confirmation comes from the 8.5% share. A Tg which talks about society, with its changes, contradictions and conflicts, particularly Tg3 Lis – on air every day, using sign language and translated simultaneously, offers news flashes for two/three minutes for hearing impaired viewers.

Fuori Tg, broadcast from Monday to Friday at 12.27, lasting twenty minutes, is a live informative programme with guests and experts linked up from the Rai studios or the Tg3 studio. Fuori Tg takes a daily look at people’s problems, ranging from health to consumer issues, from immigration to social matters in general. With a share constantly above 8%, the current format is proving to be highly successful compared to the old feature formula, which often has a share below 5%.

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. Twenty minutes of weekly feature produced by the Foreign Departments in conjunctions with correspondents operating from Rai’s foreign bases at very low costs.

Sabato notte is a feature which deals with a variety of issues: live entertainment, theatre, dance and circus, with studio guests.

Pixel focuses on technology and innovation, Internet and questions linked with energy and the environment.

Tg3 has always paid particular attention to the search for new languages in order to offer better information. This commitment is rewarded by the constant increase in the number of contacts received every day.
