Rai News 24 is Italy's first non-stop news and information channel, broadcast on digital terrestrial television in Italy and via satellite around Europe and North America. It is also the only Italian news channel to broadcast live 24/7 (similar to the fact that, every day, between 1 am and 6 am, when all the other news channels in Italy just play continuous replay loops, RaiNews24 is still LIVE to bring viewers late-breaking news).

RaiNews24 broadcasts full national and international newscasts at the top and bottom of every hour, preceded by national weather forecasts. Traffic information from CCISS is also delivered every half-hour from 8:30 am to 6:30 pm weekdays and from 7:30 am to 7 pm weekends. The rest of the schedule has press reviews (morning & night) and various magazines.

History

RaiNews 24 screen capture, 1999

This public all-news channel was created on April 26, 1999 thanks to a Service Contract between the Italian public television network RAI and the Italian Minister of Communications. It started broadcasting at 6 am.

The news channel experiments with an innovative model that combines television, internet and digital technologies. The choice of a multi-screen format, widespread use of video conference connections with correspondents and experts, was significant.

Until 19/5/2000, the channel broadcast live five days a week (weekdays only) and replayed all weekend. From the following day, it started airing live news seven days a week. Since this time, it becomes the first 24-hour LIVE rolling news channel in Italy.

The research of the separation from narration of the news and opinions about them is one of the strongest points of this channel. Often, videos are broadcast without commentary, and only some subtitles; so as to not bias the viewer.

In the last two months of 2005 the channel has realized various scoops about the Iraq war, knowing about the use of particular arms like white phosphorus or napalm from the American armed forces and the behaviour in war of some Italian soldiers in Nassiriya. From November 2006, when the Italian journalist Corradino Mineo became chief of the television, the channel use a new graphic, similar to BBC World News, changing its old graphic which was similar to Bloomberg Television. Today the channel is seen in 24 hours from 5.9% of people in the news at 8 pm is followed by 1 million of people. In March 2012 the study will change after the change took place in December 2011 graphics it all happened due to the rapid increase in public. Mineo will be substituted within February 2013 because he launched his bid in Italian general election.[2]

On February 24, 2013 at 7 am, the channel has resumed its old name Rai News24, at the same time adopting a new newsroom[3] and a graphical slightly modified: the bumpers and graphics of the network have been updated with the new logo.[4][5]

On September 27, 2015 at 5:15 am, the channel has adopted a new newsroom which is generally all white and improved the graphics design.

On July 11, 2016, the channel has adopted another change in graphics. The logo has changed into a blue box as-well the bottom half of the screen at possibly 5:15 am CET, and the clock is now blue at 5:30 am CET. The headlines (blue bar) appear to be in a smaller size. At the right of it, there is a small orange box, featuring stock markets.

On 4 January 2017, the channel started broadcasting in HD. It also adopted new format for showing logo: it is now seen on the upper left of the screen, while before is on the upper right.

On 9 July 2017, Rai News24 closed in the International after being removed and restored several times during Summer 2017.
