TG2

TG2 (TeleGiornale 2) is the brand for the news programmes of Rai 2, the Italian state-owned television channel. The programmes are shown several times throughout the day — domestically on Rai 2, and across Europe, Africa, Americas, Asia and Australasia on Rai Italia. It was launched in 1961 as Telegiornale del Secondo Programma before adopting its current name on 15 March 1976.

Editor and political leanings The editor-in-chief of the programmes is Nicola Rao. The vice director is Carlo Pilieci. Originally TG2 was born politically near to the Italian Socialist Party (PSI), the Italian Republican Party (PRI) and the Italian Communist Party (PCI).

Programme format The programs are generally presented by a single newsreader but with additional newsreaders for sports features. Most items are pre-recorded reports and are generally followed by a correspondent reporting live from the scene of the report.

Until 2019, it used a one-line red scrolling news ticker which features breaking news.
