- =====S4. ITALIAN RADIO AND TV
-
- ==Q4.1= Can I get Italian TV or radio from far away?
-
- Last modified: April 15 1994

- >From a posting by Carlo A E Rizzo <u9caer@ohm.york.ac.uk>:
-
- Most of you must have sometime tried to tune in to Italian radio or
- steered your parabola to a satellite and tried to figure out where
- you could get Italian TV from. What a pain trying to search
- through the short-wave band for the famous bird chirping signal that
- identifies RAI (Italian Radio and Television Network).
- Starting with radio we can say that RAI are not really interested in
- serving areas outside Italy; that's why it is difficult to pick up
- broadcasts from ITALY (they don't have any relay stations!)
- However, they have a national and overseas service mainly serving the
- Americas and the Far East. Europeans must rely on the Italian
- transmitters and the propagation conditions.
- Starting off with Europe strong signals come in just after the sun
- has made it behind the horizon.
-
- Radio Uno : 900KHz (MILAN 600KW transmitter) 1332KHz (ROME 300KW)
- Radio Due : 846KHz (ROME 540KW transmitter)
-
- Also on short-wave Radio Uno : 6060KHz (ROME 50KW) very weak but
- good at night after 01.00 AM.
-
- All transmissions merge in to one that starts at 23.30 hours
- (Italian Time) and terminate at 5.58 AM.
-
- A very strong signal can be picked up from Radio Luxembourg on
- 1440KHz (1Mw transmitter) where each day they relay the Italian NEWS
- (NOTIZIE ED INFORMAZIONI PER GLI ITALIANI ALL'ESTERO).
-
- winter schedule : 20.00-20.30 UTC
- summer schedule : 19.00-19.30 UTC
-
- Il programma prevede circa 1/4 ora di notizie e poi 1/4 ora di intrattenimento
- (generalmente musica)
-
- On a Monday lots of soccer results!! Any sort of radio will pick
- radio LUXEMBURG....believe me.
-
- Now overseas: the strongest signals depart from ROME on a Sunday
- afternoon at about 1.00 PM GMT on different frequencies serving
- quite a few places around the globe; that is the CALCIO MINUTO PER
- MINUTO Italian football.
- These are the frequencies (change every season so look out!):
-
- NORTH AMERICA 21475KHz
- CENTRAL EUROPE 9710KHz
- SOUTH AMERICA 21535KHz
- SOUTH AFRICA 21690KHz
- MIDDLE EAST 15520KHz
-
- The 21535KHz is always swamped by the VOA (ARAB SERVICE) which is a strong
- signal. It's better really to try all these frequencies to get satisfactory
- results. Lucky the users that have a digital radio with memories!
-
- Other transmission's depart from ROME at about 22.30 GMT to the
- AMERICA's on 11800KHz, 9710KHz, 11905KHz, 15245KHz until 3.00 AM.
- You get lot's of news and Italian music that is suddenly truncated
- to leave space to the Bird Chirping of RAI.
-
- For Canada 17800KHz and 21560KHz bring news and music every day
- exept Sundays.
-
- There are lots more transmissions that are broadcast at different
- times but difficult to pick up and very short in duration.
-
- There is no way you will be able to pick up Radio 1 (6060KHz) and
- Radio 2 (9515KHz) if you are outside Italy..
- RAI is thinking about sending these signals up some satellite in the
- near future...but who knows when?
-
- Right TV now.....to users that posses a frying pan in their garden
- (PARABOLA's).
- EUTALSAT 1 F5 10 DEGREES EAST deliveres the following programs:
-
- RAIUNO :10970MHz Vertical Polarisation
- RAIDUE :11093MHz Vertical Polarisation
-
- The footprint covers most of Europe and a 90cm dish will be
- sufficient up until Germany, England. Look ut for the Radio feeds
- coming soon on the sub-carriers. Programs are generally encripted
- but until now sport and news are free!
-
- Mr. Berlusconi manages to rent three chunks of bandwidth on INTELSAT
- V F6 on 18.5 degrees WEST which are used to relay the three most
- important private channels in Italy to 12 sub-stations scattered all
- over Italy. The footprint mainly covers Italy so you will need a big
- parabola typically 3.00m to get a decent picture. I tried to watch a
- match in England from ITALIA 1 using 1.80m dish and with a clear sky
- (NO RAIN MY FRIENDS AT THE TIME!) got a picture that was quite good
- with a bit of snow.
-
- These are the frequencies:
-
- CANALE 5 : 11172 MHz vertical polarisation
- ITALIA 1 : 11137 MHz vertical polarisation
- RETEQUATTRO : 10970 MHz vertical polarisation
-
- The TV information I'm afraid, is only for North Africa and Europe
- viewers.
-
- I programmi RAI-America possono essere ricevuti attraverso il sistema
- EUROPLUS che include un'antenna parabolica (60 cm. diametro), un set-top
- decoder e telecomando. Le trasmissioni (sistema PAL necessario) vanno
- in onda dalle 3pm alle 11pm dal lunedi al sabato; dalle 8am alle 11pm la
- domenica. RAI-America trasmette 24 ore su 24 programmi radiofonici e
- televideo. Costo: circa $800.
-
-
- ==Q4.2= Is there any Italian radio or TV station in XXX?
-
- Last modified: April 15 1994
-
- * Toronto:
-
- - - Telelatino
- channel 57 on cable in Toronto
- other channels elsewhere in Southern Ontario
- (6 hours per day of RAI, with full TG daily)
- - - Channel 47 Multilingual Television
- free off the air from Niagara Falls to Barrie
- (2 hours per day in Italian, 6 hours on Friday and Sunday
- Good news reports, including some clips from RAI)
- - - Channel 22 Global Television Network
- and
- Channel 11 CFTO Television
- both free off the air, broadcast 6-10 hours per week in Italian
- can be seen in most Central-Southern Ontario
- - - CHIN Radio
- AM 1540 KHz, FM 100.7 MHz
- (free off the air from Niagara Falls to Barrie - by Anik II satellite
- and cable elsewhere)
- (24 hours in Italian: 12-15 on AM; remaining part on FM
- Good news reports, including re-broadcast of RAI short-wave news)
- - - CIAO Radio

- Toronto
-
- * East Pennsylvania
-
- Per quel che riguarda programmi tv in italiano qui (east pennsylvania)
- sulla tv via cavo, canale 42 (abbastanza standard, cioe' quasi indipendente
- da quale compagnia ti fornisce il cavo), ci sono circa 3-4 ore di
- trasmissioni. Non sono sicuro perche' non sono mai a casa quando cominciano
- ma ti do per certo che l'ultima trasmissione e' il tg (solitamente tg1 ma
- da una paio di settimane trasmettono tg2) dalle 19.30 alle 20.00 (ora della
- costa east). La domenica invece le trasmissioni credo cominciano alle 8.00
- di mattina con una partita del campionato di calcio in diretta, per finire
- alle 13.00 con un tg.
- * Miami
-
- - - BRAVO
- In alcune aree della citta', trasmette il tg2 alle 7pm. (ET)
-
- * Bay Area (California)
-
- Nella Bay Area (San Francisco)
- Da gennaio 1994, il canale 26 trasmette soltanto il telegiornale
- dal lunedi al venerdi dalle 1730 alle 1800.
-
- * Portland (Oregon area)
-
- There is a weekly radio show that is composed of entirely
- Italian music (Baglioni, Pavarotti, ecc)
- Sunday 10-11am (Local time: GMT-0800)
- Frequency: 1150 kHz (AM)
-
- * New York
-
- C'e` una stazione TV a New York City, WNYC (Canale 31) che
- trasmette il Telegiornale tutte le sere alle 7:30 PM dal lunedi` al sabato.
- La domenica invece partita di calcio in diretta (comincia verso le 8-9AM),
- e verso mezzogiorno TG dell'una in differita e Novantesimo Minuto in
- diretta.
