This is a list of Italian television related events from 1971.

Events

[edit]
  • In 1971, RAI gets enormous public successes (Il segno del comando, E le stelle stanno a guardare, Canzonissima) and releases a miniseries in European co-production, shot by directors such as Rossellini, Rossi and Castellani. However, the firm is increasingly criticized for its poor management and the delay in the use of the color. It begins to suffer from competition with the foreign televisions channels of Switzerland and Yugoslavia.
  • January 6: Massimo Ranieri wins Canzonissima with Vent’anni.
  • February 27: Nada and Nicola Di Bari win the Sanremo music festival with Il cuore è uno zingaro.
  • May 6: In Yugoslavia, TV Koper-Capodistria, aimed at the Italian minority in Slovenia, begins to broadcast. Its signal is picked up also in Italy, from Friuli to Marche. Later its broadcoasting area covers the whole country. The new channel has limited technical facilities, but broadcasts in PAL color (six years in advance on RAI). For this, it is welcomed by the Italian public and becomes a serious competitor for the state television, particularly in the broadcast of sport events.[1]
  • May 24: the cable television Telediffusione Italiana TeleNapoli makes the first color broadcast on Italy, received only in four Neapolitan cafes equipped with the appropriate sets. In the same year, Telediffussione shots in color all of Cantagiro's stages.[2]
  • July 27: RAI refuses to broadcast the scheduled interview Pier Paolo Pasolini by Enzo Biagi, for the program 3 B facciamo l’appello. At the time, Pasolini is in on trial for press crimes, as former director-in-chief of Lotta Continua. The show will be broadcast only four years later, after Pasolini's death.[3]
