TG3

TG3, short for Telegiornale 3, is the principal daily television news program of Rai 3, the third channel of Italy's public broadcaster Rai. It covers national and international news, politics, economy, culture, sports, and weather. Produced by Rai News, TG3 airs in several editions throughout the day, including an evening newscast and shorter bulletins with updates during the day.

Historically, TG3 has functioned as Rai 3's flagship news program, complementing the network's other bulletins (TG1 on Rai 1 and TG2 on Rai 2). Since the early years of Rai 3 it has undergone periodic branding, presenter rotations, and format revisions to adapt to changing news gathering and broadcast technology.

Format and presentation typically feature a lead anchor, with a team of reporters and correspondents providing live reports and pre-produced packages. The program includes segments on politics, economy, domestic and international affairs, culture, science, sports, and weather, with periodic live interviews and breaking news updates.

TG3 is distributed on television via Rai 3 and is also available online through RaiPlay, Rai's streaming service, with video on demand of editions and segments. It forms part of Italy's public-service news ecosystem alongside the other Telegiornali and the broader Rai News network.
