Rai Parlamento

Rai Parlamento is a theme-specific broadcast specifically responsible for in-depth reporting on parliamentary and political activities.

With three editions of the daily Tg Parlamento on Rai 1 and Rai 2, from Monday to Friday, Rai Parlamento offers a full range of detailed and complete information on the activity of the Italian government and the two branches of Parliament, with a particular focus on the inner workings of Parliament, which do not usually fall within the range of the general-interest news programmes.

Tg Parlamento is broadcast on Fridays on Rai 2 and hosts the feature entitled Le Pagine della Politica, with brief studio interviews with authors of political articles or publications, whether they are members of Parliament or the Government, journalists, professors and university students.

Debates, inquiries and parliamentary investigations, work in the permanent Commissions of the Chamber and Senate and in the bicameral Commissions are at the centre of attention of the Tg Parlamento.
This attention is furthered in the weekly feature Settegiorni, which goes on air on Saturday mornings on Rai 1: fifty minutes, dedicated to the country’s major current political and social issues, with the aim of assessing the effects of politics on the life of the public, with services, inquiries and studio guests.

Quello che is a weekly programme which is on Rai 2, for 40 minutes, every Saturday, dedicated to Regions, Provinces and Municipalities.
It offers local and regional politicians a chance to speak out on their activities, also touching on the economy, culture, identity and tradition. Particular attention is reserved for the Italian Associations and local government agencies (Conferenza delle Regioni, Anci and Upi) and their relations with Government and Parliament.

The activity of the Italian Parliament is monitored live during Specials dedicated to broadcasting the main debates at Montecitorio and Palazzo Madama, and through the weekly broadcasting of Question Time, the moment dedicated to immediately answered questions that implicates harsh confrontation between members of parliament and the Government.

These live broadcasts from parliament are usually well received by viewers, especially when they cover issues of particular political and social interest, or during ‘hot’ moments for the government agencies, like the election of the President of the Republic or the Presidents of the Chamber and Senate, or during debates with regard to confidence in the Government.

Political communication regulated by the Parliamentary Commission for the General Address and Vigilance on Broadcasting Services is the other main production branch of Rai Parlamento.

Tribune elettorali uses different methods to host the confrontation between the political forces competing in general, European, regional and local elections and referendums.
These programmes are also broadcast on the radio.

10’… is the daily feature, broadcast from Monday to Friday, on Rai 3 and on the radio, that hosts the programmes managed independently by the cultural, political and social organisations, usually expressions of private associationism, allowed by the Permanent Subcommisson for Access.

This is a space which has been creating a link between the general public and activities and enterprises which are only apparently ‘minor’ for thirty years.
