TG1 is the brand for Italian state-owned TV channel Rai 1's news programmes. They are shown domestically on Rai 1 and across the world on Raitalia, several times throughout the day. The journalist Alberto Maccari is the current editor-in-chief. It was launched in 1952 as simply Telegiornale, which was later renamed as TG1 in 1975-1976. From 1992-1993 it was named Telegiornale Uno before reverting to the TG1 name.
