Tele Liguria Sud Live Stream

TLS Tele Liguria Sud is a local television broadcaster of La Spezia, transmitting on digital terrestrial across the whole Liguria region, where it is stored automatically on remote-control numbers 15 and 615. Its flagship is the TLS Giornale, the local newscast of the Spezia province broadcast live at 19:30 every day except holidays - a daily appointment that has continued without interruption since the station's first regular broadcasts.

Founded by a Priest, Run by Volunteers

The station was created in 1977, immediately after the 1976 Constitutional Court ruling that liberalised local over-the-air broadcasting, on the initiative of a La Spezia priest, Don Armando Dino Viviani. His idea was a lay television with a Catholic imprint rather than a confessional channel: a non-commercial broadcaster whose main purpose was communication, not the sale of advertising space, with all collaborators working as unpaid volunteers. The first studio was set up in an apartment of the parish house of Santa Maria, in Via della Canonica; experimental transmissions began on 1 September 1977, and regular programming followed from 1 October with the first edition of the TLS Giornale.

The Diocesan Broadcaster of La Spezia

Nicknamed at first "the priests' TV" despite its lay choice, the station was later transformed by Bishop Siro Silvestri into the diocesan Catholic broadcaster of La Spezia, Sarzana and Brugnato. In 1990, the year of the Mammi law, ownership passed to a consortium formed by the Diocese and other religious bodies, and the station moved to its present headquarters at Via Roma 138 in the Salesian Institute of La Spezia. In the same period Tele Liguria Sud was among the Catholic broadcasters that formed the Co.ra.l.lo consortium of Christian-inspired local stations. Within the province, its TLS Giornale became the most-followed local newscast, distinguished by reporting the day's news while competitors still drew from the previous day's papers.
