La7 is an Italian free-to-air television channel owned by Cairo Communication. Cairo Communication had acquired it from Telecom Italia Media, itself owned by Telecom Italia, in 2013.
La7 features a generalist programming schedule, primarily focused on news, current affairs, and entertainment. The channel is known for its in-depth political analysis, talk shows, and investigative journalism, often serving as an alternative to Italy's major public and commercial broadcasters.
The official voice-over announcer of La7 is the renowned dubbing artist Francesco Prando, and advertising sales are managed by Cairo Pubblicità.
The channel is available across Italy via digital terrestrial television, as well as on satellite platforms such as Sky Italia and Tivùsat. It is also accessible in Switzerland through cable providers.
Telemontecarlo (TMC), founded in 1974, was the Italian language television channel from Monaco. At that time, the channel was one of the only two competitors of the Italian public television network RAI, broadcasting in colour (TV Koper-Capodistria launched in 1971). After the introduction of the Mediaset channels, TMC struggled until 2001. However, in 1999, its last owner, the film producer Vittorio Cecchi Gori, sold the network to SEAT Pagine Gialle.
In the 1970s and early 1980s, the Monegasque network was the main alternative to the RAI television channels. It was one of the international Italian-language television broadcasters available in the Italian peninsula.
Starting in the mid-1980s, Telemontecarlo increasingly became a niche channel following the rise of the Fininvest channels, particularly Canale 5. In 1990, it obtained a license to broadcast across the entire national territory under the Mammì Law.
The birth of the Italian TMC (Telemontecarlo) was influenced by the Italian government's decision to adopt color television broadcasts, with the choice between the PAL and SÉCAM standards to be determined later. In 1971, during the debate over these standards, French industrialists reportedly proposed to President Georges Pompidou that TMC broadcast in Italian and in color by using the SÉCAM standard. The broadcasts would target Rome and the Italian coast from the ORTF transmitter in Bastia, Corsica, aiming to promote SÉCAM receivers in the Italian market. However, President Pompidou declined the proposal.
