1971 in Italian television

Events

  • In 1971, RAI gets enormous public successes (Il segno del comando, E le stelle stanno a guardare, Canzonissima) and realizes prestigious miniseries in European coproduction, shot by renowned directors as Rossellini, Rossi and Castellani. However, the firm is increasingly criticized for its bad management and the delay in the use of the color, and begins to suffer the concurrence of the foreign televisions from Swiss and Yugoslavia.
  • May 6: In Yugoslavia, TV Koper-Capodistria, aimed at the Italian minority in Slovenia, begins to broadcast; its signal is picked up also in Italy, from Friuli to Marche, and, later, is relayed in the whole country. The new channel has limited technical facilities but broadcasts in PAL color (with six years in advance on RAI); for this, it is welcomed by the Italian public and becomes a serious contender for the state television, moreover in the sport events.[1]
  • May 24: the cable television Telediffusione Italiana TeleNapoli makes the first color broadcast on Italy, received only in four Neapolitan cafes equipped with the appropriate sets. In the year, Telediffussione shots in color all the Cantagiro's stages.[2]
  • July 27: RAI deletes the scheduled Enzo Biagi's interview to Pasolini, for the program 3 B facciamo l’appello, because the writer is in on trial for press crimes, as former director-in-chief of Lotta Continua. The show will be broadcast only four years later, after the Pasolini's death.[3]

The show gets the record number of twenty-five million viewers.[10]
