Raï

RAI (Radiotelevisione Italiana) is the Italian public service broadcaster. It operates three terrestrial television channels and three radio channels, in addition to several satellite and digital terrestrial offerings. Born in 1944, it started television broadcasts on January 3, 1954. Formerly a publicly-owned company, it is now undergoing a lengthy process of part-privatization. Half of RAI?s revenues come from the television licence fee, half from advertising. RAI has the highest audience share of any public service broadcaster in Western Europe, but competition with Silvio Berlusconi?s Mediaset group of channels has led to accusations of a decline in quality.
