TGR (Italian: TG Regione) is the brand for Italian state-owned public broadcasting company Rai's regionalnews programmes. They are broadcast domestically on Rai Tre and Rai Radio 1. It was launched in 1979 as TG3 Regione, and was known as Rai Regione from 1987-1992 before adopting the current TGR name from 1992-1999 (when its name was changed to TG3 Regione again) and again from 2002 onwards. Today with about 800 journalists is Europe's largest broadcast news organisation.[citation needed].
The programme is generally presented by a single newsreader with additional newsreaders for the sports news. Most items are made up of reports and are generally preceded and followed by the correspondent reporting live from the scene of the report. It is a local news bulletin: the news only concerns the region to which the edition belongs (21 editions for 20 regions: for the Trentino-Alto Adige region two different news programs are broadcast, TGR Trento for the Trentino area and TGR Bolzano for the Alto Adige area) and the program only airs in the relevant region through Rai 3 channel. The programme airs at 14:00 and at 19:30 and lasts 20 minutes. There is also a third edition, shorter, lasting about five minutes, called "Edizione della notte" (night time edition) that airs at around 23:30 but sometime a bit later. The programme is followed by a weather report known as Meteo.
