Reception in Northern Italy

TSI uno has long been about as popular as ORF 1 in southern Bavaria in northern Italy. The reception radius reached out to well over Milan. However, the reception options were always worse after Italian private broadcasters were allowed and could take this because of a gap in operating unhindered new frequencies that interfered with the Swiss signal massive.

Only in 1995 was by a frequency change of TSI transmitter Castel San Pietro, about five kilometers from the extreme southern tip of Switzerland, the reception in Milan are possible again. Used here was channel 36, which had to remain largely free of radio broadcasts in Italy due to other occupation. With the introduction of DVB- T in Ticino and the switch-off of analogue broadcasting in 2006, however, was abandoned by the Switzerland channel 36; the frequencies now used by DVB- T can still only very poorly received because of strong interference. Proposals, LA 1 broadcast in Italy itself via DVB- T, were far been transposed in South Tyrol, where the program is broadcast by the radio -Anstalt Südtirol since May 2010. The so-called project TSI Italia will not be pursued due to financial scarcity of SRG SSR until further notice.
