TGR
TGR is the brand for Italian state-owned public broadcasting company Rai's regional news programmes. They are broadcast domestically on Rai Tre and Rai Radio 1. It was launched in 1979 as TG3 Regione, and was known as Rai Regione from 1987-1992 before adopting the current TGR name from 1992-1999 and again from 2002 onwards. Today, with about 850 journalists employed across Italy, it is Europe's largest broadcast news organisation.
Programme format
The programme is generally presented by a single newsreader with additional newsreaders for the sports news. Most items are made up of reports and are generally preceded and followed by the correspondent reporting live from the scene of the report. It is a local news bulletin: the news only concerns the region to which the edition belongs and the program only airs in the relevant region through Rai 3 channel. The programme airs at 14:00 and at 19:30 and lasts 20 minutes. There is also a third edition, shorter, lasting about five minutes, called "Edizione della notte" that airs at around 23:30 but sometime a bit later. The programme is followed by a weather report known as Meteo.
Daily programme
Rai also produces other programmes with TGR brand, for a local or national audience.
History
It was created following the creation of the third RAI network following the 1975 RAI reforms. Until 1987, TG3 was in charge of the regional news bulletins, this changed in March of that year when TG3 became a national service. As consequence, a separate unit called RAIREGIONE was introduced. Before the news reforms, TG3's regional bulletins aired at 7pm and 10pm. From August, in line with Rai Radio 1's conversion into an all-news service, the TV bulletins aired on RAI Tre at 2pm, 7:30pm and at around midnight. The RAIREGIONE radio bulletins moved from Rai Radio 2 to Radio 1.
Coinciding with the laungh of TGS, the bulletin was renamed TGR on 21 October 1991. On 13 March 1995, a 10:45pm bulletin was added. On 8 March 1999, TGR was incorporated into TG3's structure, forming Telegiornale 3, touted as "the largest newscast in Europe".
TGR regained its autonomy in 2002, being detached from TG3, when Rai 3 was given a new directorate under the opposition center-left. The regional news unit, however, was put under the directorate of center-right leaning candidate Angela Buttiglione.
TGR Piazza Affari launched it new opening on 7 July 2015 which was then later of TGR Regional newscast a little bit later on 21 July 2015 of most of them while some kept the same original opening which has a different sound when switching to a different opening of the newscast. Most of the news station set were changed mostly in August. TGR Buongirono Italia had a new graphics since it started airing Fall 2015.
