On the occasion of the newspaper's 160th anniversary, the 24 ORE Group lands on TV: the Radio24-IlSole24OreTV channel is born, and will make its official debut on 24 June 2025 on channel 246 of the digital terrestrial network. This event marks a historic moment for the Group, which thus becomes the first Italian publishing group to have a complete multimedia information platform, equipped with all the main broadcasting media: daily newspaper, periodicals, digital platforms, press agency, radio, events and from now on also TV.

Availability from all major Group touch points

Radio24-IlSole24OreTV, a latest-generation concept and architecture that includes usability from all of the Group's main touch points: from the websites of Radio 24 and Il Sole 24 Ore to their respective Mobile Apps and Radio 24's CTV App, and of course linear usability on digital terrestrial television with channel 246. A numbering system that is easy to remember, thanks to the number sequence "two four six" and the characteristic 24 at the top, which will make available to the public in a synergic manner the high quality content produced by the newspapers and the various areas of the 24 ORE Group, with the aim of constituting a point of reference for in-depth information.

Strategic choice for the future

A project that has a strategic value, also in terms of the future, as witnessed by the choice of technical partners that will accompany the channel's production. To guarantee the highest quality of broadcasting, in fact, the 24 ORE Group has chosen Sky Italia, a leader in the broadcast services market. Sky will provide the technological architecture and technical support for video production and the development of the network graphics infrastructure, while play-out, with dynamic management of the H24 video schedule, and broadcasting on the national digital terrestrial network will be handled by Persidera, Italy's leading independent network operator. The production of the television formats will be carried out in theTV studios of the 24 ORE Group in Milan and Rome.

"all news" style graphics

The visual layout of the channel will be innovative and high-impact, starting with the TV logo, which will be dynamic, reflecting the energy and versatility of Radio24-IlSole24OreTV, and thanks to graphics that will express the style of the main international 'all news' TV channels: the main image will be enriched by differently scrolling tickers and content feeds that will dynamically offer, from time to time, breaking news and in-depth analysis by Il Sole 24 Ore, market trends by Radiocor, sports news in collaboration with Tuttomercatoweb.com and weather forecasts in collaboration with iLMeteo.it,

The schedule of the new channel will start from its very first phase with a rich and varied proposal, with a leading role for Radio 24 programmes, which will be flanked by the in-depth information of Sole 24 Ore with its various appointments and the press agency Radiocor to monitor in real time the performance of the financial markets and the main economic events: a unique presence in Italy, to follow every day the key issues of greatest interest.

In the autumn space also for video podcasts

Starting from the beginning of the autumn, the schedule will be further enriched with numerous contributions such as, for example, the Group's most successful video podcasts, productions by the HTSI magazine, and contributions and columns by the Group's exclusive professional content with extraordinarily well-known brands, such as 'L'Esperto Risponde', for in-depth information and updates on the main tax, regulatory and fiscal issues. There will also be contributions from 24 ORE Cultura, to share the richness and added value of major cultural events, and 24 ORE Eventi, the Group's division that plans and organises more than 120 events a year, starting with the Trento Festival of Economics.

In addition to this, collaborative projects are already in the pipeline that could bring co-production activities and numerous surprises and novelties that will mark the evolution of the channel, which was created with the ambition of helping the public better understand important and complex events and, more generally, where the world around us is going.

The last tile in a multimedia mosaic

"Radio24-IlSole24OreTV confirms and reinforces the Group's leadership and growth strategy and its inseparable link with the news market in all its expressions," says Federico Silvestri, CEO of the 24 ORE Group. "The new TV channel is the latest piece in a precious multimedia mosaic; it will also be an aggregator of the video products of all the newspapers, including digital and social profiles, allowing a new experience of viewing programmes also on demand. The new channel represents a perfect marriage between linearity and innovation, offering all possible access points thanks to the 24 ORE Group's advanced multimedia platform, enhancing the content of all contributors: the newspaper and digital platforms, with radio, news agency, podcasts, video productions, video news and other digital products that will now also animate TV. The 24 ORE Group thus becomes the only Italian media company with a complete coverage of all media and an irreplaceable point of reference for all our stakeholders: entrepreneurs, professionals and managers, institutions and businesses, families, students and, more generally, all those who want to orient themselves in the facts of the present and understand the transformations of tomorrow."

Evolving product range

"In the past, the profession of journalist was organised vertically: press agencies, daily newspapers, weekly newspapers, radio, television," explains Fabio Tamburini, editor-in-chief of the group's titles and editorial director of the 24 ORE Group. "Today the world has changed and journalism has become multimedia. Specialisations remain, but everyone, within the limits of their aptitudes, must be able to play all the instruments available. This is why the transition of the 24 ORE Group from video producer to television channel represents a qualitative leap, which completes the range of offerings. A completion of the product range that is also a new challenge for the group's journalists."

"We are honoured and proud to have been chosen by the 24 ORE Group to be entrusted with the play-out and broadcasting services for the new channel on our national digital terrestrial network," says Paolo Ballerani, CEO of Persidera SpA. "This is further recognition of our leading role as a national DTT Network Operator for independent channels. We are taking part in this important project with the conviction that we can offer the quality and reliability of our technical services, as well as the willingness to study possible developments together, in order to make the most of the opportunities offered by the market and technological innovations".
