Programme format

The roots of the programme go back to 1980 on Canale 5, with a programme covering Lombardy called Video 5. In 1983 it was replaced by Canale 5 News.

The programme is generally presented by a single newsreader but with additional newsreaders for financial reports. Generally the programme features reports which are preceded and followed by the correspondent reporting live from the scene of the report.

TG5, as it exists today, was created in 1992 with Enrico Mentana as director.
