TG1

TG1, short for Telegiornale Uno, is the flagship daily news program of Italy's public broadcaster RAI. It airs on Rai 1 as the channel's main national television news bulletin, with the evening edition typically broadcast around 20:00. The program provides national and international news, politics, economy, culture, sports, and weather, using a combination of studio presentations, live reports, and pre-recorded packages. It is produced by Rai News, the news division of RAI, and features a team of anchors and correspondents who may present from studios in Rome or from field locations around the world.

Since its inception, TG1 has been a central element of Italian television journalism, adapting to changes in technology, audience habits, and editorial policies. In addition to the main TG1 broadcast, RAI offers shorter updates and special editions during major events, and maintains online access through RaiPlay and the Rai News website, where recent episodes and clips are archived.

TG1 sits within a broader ecosystem of Telegiornale programs on RAI, including TG2 on Rai 2 and TG3 on Rai 3, and represents the public broadcaster's most visible televised news product. Its audience reach and editorial choices have made it a reference point in Italian media for covering politics, national events, and international affairs.
