Television's Chicago School DNA for business and finance

When regular commercial television operations began in New York, many programs have incorporated theatrical proscenium/radio/film layouts, separating the stage from the audience area.

In other words, the early studio set designs used by many programs hailing from this New York-centric television scene were like a cardboard box, but also in a two-dimensional/2D situation.

Besides, New York-centric television also used fixed/static shots, together with loudmouth individuals.




News studio set designs coming from the New York-based television scene featured anchors sitting at a wooden desk being flanked by analog clocks, rotary phones, printed posters and typewriters.

Some of the key backdrops for news studio designs hailing from this New York-centric television scene included flat, neutral and painted studio walls, textured curtains and rigid world map cutouts.



During the early post-WWII period, some of the television programs came from Chicago, where Dave Garroway was a radio disc jockey on WMAQ-AM.


Television came calling for the radio-friendly Dave Garroway in 1949; his eponymous program called Garroway at Large was a key component of the Chicago School.

April 1949 is when Dave Garroway's Garroway at Large program started its run as a local program on WNBQ, before airing on a national basis on NBC, starting in June 1949.



For his eponymous Garroway at Large program, Dave Garroway broke television's old traditions for a more casual approach, in which the reality of the studio was acknowledged.

Using one camera, Dave Garroway walked around large studios and simple abstract sets as he directly talked to guests and television viewers for his eponymous Garroway at Large program.



In its television section, both the 19th and 20th floors of the Merchandise Mart housed NBC's Chicago station WMAQ-TV until 1989, notably housing Dave Garroway's Garroway at Large.





Just over 2 years after NBC began Dave Garroway's eponymous Garroway at Large program, its fierce competitor CBS responded by launching See It Now with Edward R. Murrow in November.



Hear It Now, which is a former weekly radio adaptation of the I Can Hear It Now spoken-word album series from Columbia, is also the basis for Edward R. Murrow's See It Now (CBS).

The CBS television control room at Studio 41 in Grand Central Terminal houses Edward R. Murrow's innovative and groundbreaking See It Now television program.



Dave Garroway's Garroway at Large (NBC) used moving cameras and unpainted studio walls, whereas Edward R. Murrow's See It Now (CBS) had a monitor matrix.



For this monitor matrix in Edward R. Murrow's See It Now (CBS), it conveyed a high-tech look/feel.




Both Dave Garroway's Garroway at Large (NBC) and Edward R. Murrow's See It Now (CBS) rejected traditional box-like sets in favour of the ones being treated as three-dimensional/3D canvases.

Likewise, real technical television production was exposed due to the innovations involving both Dave Garroway's Garroway at Large (NBC) and Edward R. Murrow's See It Now (CBS).




NBC also pioneered a new formula of television: early-morning television, which is being offered via Today (NBC), initially coming from the RCA Exhibition Hall.




Situated in the Rockefeller Centre complex, the RCA Exhibition Hall is based directly across from the iconic and famous headquarters of the Associated Press at 50 Rockefeller Plaza.

Contrasting to the iconic headquarters of the Associated Press, which represented print journalism, the RCA Exhibition Hall represented electronic media's fluid and transparent future.



Likewise, Rockefeller Centre also housed 1 Rockefeller Plaza, which, from 1938 to 1960, served as the former base for Time Inc.

The presence of both the Associated Press and Time Inc. transformed Rockefeller Centre's scope from a strictly radio-communications complex into a centre of the radio and print media sectors.



Inside the RCA Exhibition Hall, parts of which were converted into the first Today (NBC) studio, was a newsroom/bullpen being adapted from the Associated Press at 50 Rockefeller Plaza.

Juxtaposing print journalism's industrial past, via the AP at 50 Rock, with electronic media's transparent future, via the RCA Exhibition Hall, the Today (NBC) bullpen was a television innovation.



Next to the Today (NBC) bullpen at the RCA Exhibition Hall was a desk, based behind a backdrop with clocks and television monitors.

Besides, Today (NBC) featured pedestrians on the street looking through the glass windows of the RCA Exhibition Hall to watch this program.



Plus, teletypes that came from the Associated Press (AP), United Press (UP) and the International News Service (INS) were used inside the Today (NBC) newsroom/bullpen at the RCA Exhibition Hall.

The on-screen ticker being adapted from the wire services in the Today (NBC) newsroom/bullpen at the RCA Exhibition Hall, featuring a clock display being adapted from clocks, was used.

Due to technical difficulties and having lacked viewer traction, this on-screen ticker being adapted from wire feeds for Today (NBC) was dropped after just a few months.



Undoing the past, Today (NBC) under Dave Garroway births modern broadcast design elements.

Some of the innovations surrounding the RCA Exhibition Hall for Today (NBC) under Dave Garroway include a newsroom/bullpen, a street-side studio, a news ticker and a clock display.



This borderless room, located at the RCA Exhibition Hall for Today (NBC) under Dave Garroway, was made in-house by NBC's engineering units and RCA's corporate exhibition teams.



With the RCA Exhibition Hall as its first base, Today (NBC) doubled down on the Chicago Style being honed at Dave Garroway's eponymous Garroway at Large program.

Likewise, with Dave Garroway at the helm for Today (NBC), the RCA Exhibition Hall bridged the gap between the Chicago Style, the AP newsroom/bullpen and the See It Now control room.




For Today (NBC), under Dave Garroway, the RCA Exhibition Hall mixed Chicago's creativity with the industrial newsroom/bullpen (AP) and the technical network news nerve centre (CBS).





NBC adapted the newsroom/bullpen from the print scene for television under Dave Garroway.

CBS adapted this newsroom/bullpen element from NBC as a studio set feature being placed in a usual structure without street-side windows for TV journalism under Walter Cronkite.




For Search/Probe (1972-1973), the Probe Control Centre is a fictional room based on NASA's Mission Control Centre.

What describes the Probe Control Centre for Search/Probe (1972-1973) is the fact that it uses a similar monitor matrix to the real-life NASA Mission Control Centre.




Designing the Probe Control Centre for Search/Probe (1972-1973) is Fred Harpman.

The Probe Control Centre, which Fred Harpman had created for Search/Probe (1972-1973), is a direct inspiration for his television design for its network NBC called the NewsCentre.




Using architectural geometry, angled desks and glass partitions, Fred Harpman's NewsCentre set design endures a contrast with traditional 2D cardboard box-like ones.

Besides, the NewsCentre design by Fred Harpman features NASA-like banks of active video feeds/data monitors.

In addition, mezzanine/stairs also add to Fred Harpman's NewsCentre design.




Rooted in Hollywood sci-fi, Fred Harpman's NewsCentre design has the newsroom/bullpen feel.

Fred Harpman's NewsCentre design echoes the Today (NBC) newsroom/bullpen at the RCA Exhibition Hall under Dave Garroway and the See It Now (CBS) control room under Edward R. Murrow.




For BCTV, it has the NBC camp - Dave Garroway's print-style Today (NBC) newsroom/bullpen being adapted from the AP at 50 Rock, based across from the RCA Exhibition Hall.

One of the notably avid Today (NBC) viewers was Ray Peters, who led BCTV.



Likewise, BCTV has the CBS camp - Edward R. Murrow's See It Now control room.

Incidentally, Edward R. Murrow's See It Now program serves as the CBS answer to Dave Garroway's eponymous Garroway at Large program on NBC.

Ray Peters, who led BCTV, was in New York when Edward R. Murrow's See It Now made its debut.




NBC's print-style newsroom/bullpen camp, used by BCTV, evolved into the traditional print-style CBS newsroom/bullpen, notably featuring Walter Cronkite, who had his UP print roots.

Likewise, the high-tech and cutting-edge CBS control room camp, which BCTV used, evolved into the ultra-modern and cinematic NewsCentre, created for NBC by Hollywood designer Fred Harpman.



BCTV's news studio set design, made in-house by its engineering, scenic and production teams, was a paradox: a print-style NBC newsroom/bullpen inside a high-tech CBS monitor matrix



During its first 30 years/3 decades, CNN used the BCTV newsroom/bullpen-control room.

Having adapted the BCTV newsroom/bullpen-control room for CNN was Bunky Helfrich.



Upon its launch, just 19 months after CNN's June 1, 1980 debut, CNN2, later known as CNN Headline News, has the CBS camp - Edward R. Murrow's See It Now control room, lasting until 2005.



Chicago, in which Dave Garroway pioneered a casual television style being brought to New York, also housed WCIU-TV, which pioneered financial news on television.

KWHY-TV also pioneered financial news on television, similar to WCIU-TV.



Quotron, a financial system being developed by John Scantlin and his eponymous Scantlin Electronics company, is the first to deliver live stock market quotes to an electronic screen.

Scantlin's Quotron system, introduced in 1960, replaced mechanical ticker tape machines.




Having been pioneers in business/financial news on television, both KWHY-TV and WCIU-TV were supporters of the Quotron system from Scantlin Electronics.

NASDAQ is the world's first fully electronic stock market, which evolved from Quotron.




For the Financial News Network (FNN), some of its original personnel were from KWHY-TV, such as Rodney Buscher and Eugene Inger.



Upon its 1981 launch, the Financial News Network (FNN) pioneered the scrolling digital stock market ticker being based across the lower third of the television screen on a national level.

In general, the FNN ticker had the top white band for stocks and the bottom blue band for index.




Mirroring the short-lived ticker being adapted from teletypes in the Today (NBC) bullpen under Dave Garroway, FNN's ticker is television's first continuous on-screen ticker on a national level.

Locally, this on-screen stock market ticker being created for both KWHY-TV and WCIU-TV featured scrolling text from bottom to top (vertical).

FNN's ticker featured scrolling text moving from right to left (horizontal).



Conversely, upon its mid-April 1989 launch, CNBC used a different ticker from FNN.

With the young and upstart CNBC merging with the iconic and famous, yet scandal-ridden FNN in the early-1990's, CNBC adopted/modernized FNN's scrolling 2-band digital stock market ticker.



Just prior to the Financial News Network (FNN), continuous financial and business tickers were being restricted to local TV stations for several hours.

However, FNN's true breakthrough was to make the stock market ticker a 24-hour standard.



The CNN Headline News SportsTicker, which started in mid-December 1993, modernized/revived the news ticker that Today (NBC) used under Dave Garroway for its first few months.



MSNBC and Fox News Channel are CNN's first rivals since the Satellite News Channel (SNC).

Incidentally, both MSNBC and Fox News made their debuts in July and October 1996; these launches stemmed from Roger Ailes making his January 1996 departure from NBC for Fox.





Fox News Channel was the first television channel to utilize the general modern news ticker during the events being held in mid-September 2001, which came at 11 minutes to 11 a.m. EDT.

Others, like CNN and MSNBC, followed Fox News during the mid-September 2001 events.



Incidentally, the Fox News ticker during the mid-September 2001 events fully popularized/revived the news ticker that Today (NBC) used under Dave Garroway for its first few months.




The 1977 Trinity and the 1981 IBM Personal Computer are the blueprints for personal computers being included in the newsroom/bullpen for television in the modern era.

Using both the 1977 Trinity and the 1981 IBM PC, they shifted this newsroom/bullpen production from manual and paper-based workflows into fully automated digital hubs.



Broadcast Automation Systems (BASYS), co-created by Ed Grudzien and Peter Kolstad, is one of the pioneering and most influential newsroom computer systems (NRCS).

CNN is the first customer for BASYS, which evolved from the 1977 Trinity.




Modern 21st-century news studio designs cannot leave behind Dave Garroway's television traits; they instead use digital technology to merge and evolve them into flexible ecosystems.

Some of the innovative Dave Garroway traits that modern 21st-century news studio designs can never leave behind include a newsroom/bullpen, a street-side studio and a news ticker/clock display.





In addition, modern 21st-century televised election studio set designs could not also leave behind these similar Dave Garroway traits to those being used in the television news business.

Likewise, modern 21st-century business/financial news studio set designs cannot also leave the similar Dave Garroway traits behind to those being used in television news.




Besides, modern 21st-century news studio designs cannot leave behind Edward R. Murrow's television traits; they instead use digital technology to merge and evolve them into flexible ecosystems.

Edward R. Murrow's innovative television trends that modern 21st-century news studio set designs can never leave behind include the multi-monitor control room and computers.




In addition, modern 21st-century televised election studio set designs could not also leave behind these similar Edward R. Murrow traits to those being used in the television news business.

Similarly, modern 21st-century business/financial news studio set designs cannot also leave these same Edward R. Murrow traits behind to those being used in television news.




The name for a modern 21st-century news ecosystem studio format is the Nexus.

For the Nexus, it has the Dave Garroway trends (newsroom/bullpen, street-side, news ticker and clock display) and Edward R. Murrow (multi-monitor control room and computers).

Pennsylvania also births Leonard Goldenson, who, using his experience as a Hollywood movie theatre executive, saved ABC from extinction, but also provided capital.

Barred from filmmaking, due to court rulings, Leonard Goldenson used his UPT connections to secure foundational deals with Hollywood film studios.



Responding to the Disney-ABC deal, Warner Bros. inked up a deal with ABC.

The result of this deal that Warner Bros. inked up with ABC is Warner Bros. Presents.



For Warner Bros. Presents, it comprises two of the television iterations of the Warner Bros. films being iconic and famous: Casablanca and Kings Row, plus Cheyenne, named after the WB film.


During its first season, Cheyenne uses stock action footage and plots coming from older Western films being released by Warner Bros. to save cash.

Playing the title role in the Cheyenne television series is Clint Walker.



Having been part of this Warner Bros. Presents series on ABC, Cheyenne, which stars Clint Walker, is television's first hour-long drama to be successfully renewed past its first season.



Warner Bros. Presents evolved into Conflict; it features pilots for Maverick and 77 Sunset Strip.

77 Sunset Strip is television's first franchise, spawning no less than 3 spinoffs recreating this format.




Incidentally, with both Disney and Warner Bros., ABC has introduced Hollywood production levels to television.




ABC's domestic syndication arm ABC Films was spun-off in 1973 into Worldvision Enterprises.

Worldvision Enterprises was not affiliated with World Vision International.





HBO started operations on November 8, 1972 as a regional microwave-fed premium television service under Cleveland-born Charles Dolan.

Sterling Communications, backed by Time Inc., was Charles Dolan's company, sold to Time in 1973.



Warner Communications began purchasing Time's stake in Sterling Communications in May 1973, but backed out in June 1973.

A few years later, on September 30, 1975, HBO uplinked its signal via satellite across the nation.





For HBO's September 30, 1975 national uplink, Westar 1 was the satellite.

Satcom 1 replaced Westar 1 as HBO's preferred satellite, nearly 5 months after its September 30, 1975 national uplink.

The Thrilla in Manila is HBO's first broadcast on a national basis, doubling as the first telecast to air a continuous live signal to cable systems on a national level via satellite.

Unconfined to boxing, HBO aired major league sports from Madison Square Garden from its debut on November 8, 1972 to mid-1977.


Joining Cleveland in Ohio cities starting with the letter C are Cincinnati and Columbus, plus Dayton.



For Cleveland, it births Superman, the Penny Press and Charles Dolan (HBO).



James E. Scripps and his half-brother Edward Willis Scripps co-founded the Detroit News.

With the success of the Detroit News that his half-brother James E. Scripps had founded, E.W. Scripps founded the Penny Press, which later became the Cleveland Press.

The television cousin of the Cleveland Press is WEWS, whose calls stand for E.W. Scripps.



In the late-1900's, E.W. Scripps merged the 3 regional news syndicates under his control to form United Press (UP).

United Press (UP) had innovations in modern journalism, including radio news.



Noted United Press (UP) personnel included Walter Cronkite and Paul White.



Specifically, the E.W. Scripps Company has made close relations with the iconic and famous Big Three networks, including ABC.



Likewise, Cincinnati roots the E.W. Scripps Company, Taft Broadcasting and Ted Turner.




During its peak, Taft Broadcasting had endured close relations with ABC, due to Leonard Goldenson's friendship with Hulbert Taft Jr.

Indeed, Taft's close relationship with ABC boosted the network's national coverage.



For Taft, its Cincinnati roots are in the Cincinnati Times-Star, plus WKRC Radio and Television.

The E.W. Scripps Company, a locally-based rival of this iconic and famous Taft media empire, took the Cincinnati Times-Star in the late-1950's.


Just like the Taft media empire, the E.W. Scripps Company's Cincinnati roots come from the Cincinnati Post and WCPO Radio and Television.


Both WEWS and WCPO-TV were two of the three television stations being built and signed-on by the Scripps empire, along with WMC-TV in Memphis, Tennessee.



Dororthy Fuldheim is one of the first women in the television news industry via WEWS.

Al Schottelkotte is also a television news pioneer via WCPO-TV.



Atlanta, Georgia is Ted Turner's main base.

For Ted Turner, his true link to Cincinnati is that, as a child, he sold copies of the Cincinnati Enquirer newspaper at a streetcar stop near the Cincinnati Zoo, starting his media career.



The first television assets for Ted Turner are WJRJ-TV and WCTU-TV, both of which were struggling stations on the UHF band before he acquired them and both of which began in the late-1960's.

Under Ted Turner, both WJRJ-TV and WCTU-TV changed their call letters to WTCG and WRET.



In July 1969, Rice Broadcasting, which founded/ran WJRJ-TV, announced its merger with the Turner Communications Corporation, approved by the FCC in December 1969.

September 1969 is when WCTU-TV fell into insolvency, resulting in its sale to Turner not long after.




Responding to HBO's September 30, 1975 national satellite-fed uplink, both WTCG and WRET were contenders for the first superstation, the earlier local station of which won.



For WTCG's national satelite-fed uplink, held under a month before 1977 began, it used Satcom 1.

Incidentally, Satcom 1, already used by HBO as its frequent satellite after replacing Westar 1, was also being used by WTCG to carry its signal to cable systems.



Likewise, Ted Turner attended the McCallie School, from which he graduated in the mid-1950's.

Pat Robertson, who held the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), also had his graduation from the McCallie School a decade before Ted Turner.



The CBN Satellite Service was the first television network to be delivered nationwide via satellite on a basic cable status from its technical outset.

Upon its April 29, 1977 debut, the CBN Satellite Service had no commercials until September 1, 1981.



September 22, 1977 is when the individuals being involved in HBO's historic Thrilla in Manila telecast formed a joint venture with the local MSG Network to launch its national version.

For the national iteration of the local MSG Network, its launch on September 22, 1977 made it the first national satellite-fed basic cable television network with commercials from its outset.



Tennessee likewise roots Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson, who co-founded DC Comics, which has been a Warner Bros. property since 1969.


Meanwhile, Columbus roots QUBE from the cable division of the Warner Bros. media empire.

In an era when most homes have a few over-the-air stations, QUBE had a mutli-channel box.




Although not commercially profitable (and having suffered high costs), QUBE is still the incubator for modern cable television.

December 1, 1977 was when QUBE began operations.



Warner Communications joined American Express to form Warner-Amex, nearly 2 years after QUBE's December 1, 1977 launch.




Moving on from print after its late-1950's sale of the Cincinnati Times-Star to the E.W. Scripps media empire, Taft Broadcasting entered the entertainment industry.


December 1966 is when Taft, which had close relations with ABC, acquired the iconic Hanna-Barbera studio, with William Hanna and Joseph Barbera remaining as its figureheads.




Kings Island is Taft's first theme park, which opened its doors in April 1972.

For Kings Island, it led to Kings Entertainment Company (KECO), spun-off in April 1984 from Taft.




Canada's Wonderland, which Taft opened in late-May 1981 with Canada Life, serves as Canada's first major theme park.




Worldvision Enterprises, spun-off in 1973 from ABC Films, was sold to Taft 6 years later.

Quinn Martin Productions was also sold to Taft around Worldvision's purchase.



Pinwheel, which started as a local program on QUBE, became national sixteen months later on a new channel called Nickelodeon.

Sight on Sound, also a local program on QUBE, became national on August 1, 1981 as MTV.



Unconfined to Sight on Sound, Warner-Amex developed PopClips, created by Michael Nesmith.




Rio is a 1977 tune by Michael Nesmith that has a promotional clip.

Michael Nesmith's Rio promo clip is created, not in the usual low-budget form of an artist playing an instrument on a plain stage, but in the form of a comedic and surreal short film.

Directing Michael Nesmith's Rio promo clip is William Dear.



So successful was Michael Nesmith's Rio promotional clip, which William Dear had directed, that this former member of The Monkees pitched a platform for playing music videos.

By joining TV producer Norman Lear, both Michael Nesmith and William Dear created PopClips.




PopClips featured back-to-back music videos, hosted by comedic on-screen individuals named Video Jockeys (VJs), an innovation for the television business.


When the major television networks pitched Michael Nesmith's PopClips, they refused, as they did not think that audiences would sit down to watch non-live music content.

However, John Lack, who was Warner-Amex's executive Vice-President, saw the potential for Michael Nesmith's PopClips.



This PopClips format, which Michael Nesmith pitched, was sold to Warner-Amex, which used it on its youth-oriented network called Nickelodeon in late-1980.


With the success being made by Michael Nesmith's PopClips, Warner-Amex realized that its half-hour length was not enough, and decided to upscale this one into a 24-hour service.

Robert Pittman had fast-paced radio strategies; he joined John Lack to begin MTV on August 1, 1981.



Michael Nesmith was not known as MTV's inventor, but his PopClips concept was known by industry insiders and television network architects as the catalyst for MTV's.



Going back to Atlanta, WATL originated The Now Explosion, another MTV precursor, which WTCG likewise aired.




Video Concert Hall (VCH) was a similar Atlanta-rooted MTV precursor to The Now Explosion.

Lloyd G. Crowe and Charles W. Henderson co-created Video Concert Hall (VCH).


The Now Explosion, Video Concert Hall (VCH),  Sight on Sound and PopClips, the earlier two being rooted in Atlanta, were MTV precursors.



Dayton roots James M. Cox, the namesake of the Cox Enterprises media empire.




Cox's Dayton roots are in the Dayton Daily News, plus WHIO Radio and Television.

For WHIO-TV, it serves as Dayton's first and oldest-operating television station, with WLWD/WDTN being its first licensed one and its second in operation.


Johnny Gilbert and Phil Donahue are Dayton television icons who earn national recognition.



TeleRep, which Al Masini founded in the late-1960's, had been Cox's subsidiary since 1972.

Operation Prime Time (OPT) is a former consortium of America's indie television stations.


Likewise, both TeleRep (Cox) and OPT owned their own programming, production and syndication division called Television Program Enterprises (TPE).




Entertainment Tonight, Solid Gold and Star Search are noted programs from OPT/TPE.



September 14, 1981 is when Entertainment Tonight made its debut.

During its original tenure, Star Search proved that television served as a launching pad for iconic and world-famous celebrities.



On March 4, 1989, Time and Warner Communications announced their merger into TimeWarner.

Some years after this January 1990 merger, in the early-1990's era, TimeWarner transferred most of its television, film production, music and cable assets to TimeWarner Entertainment Company.





Echoing Warner's 1973 transaction in acquiring Time's stake in Sterling Communications, this January 1990 merger between Time and Warner united WB, DC and HBO under one umbrella.

TimeWarner, which held WB, DC and HBO, merged with Turner Broadcasting System in 1996.



With the 1996 Turner-TimeWarner merger, some of the animated characters being rooted in pioneering studios via Margaret J. Winkler and Charles Mintz came full circle.

RAI - Radiotelevisione Italiana

RAI - Radiotelevisione Italiana is Italy's national public broadcaster. It is also one of the best and most trusted broadcasters in the world.




For years, RAI Uno has been known as the television voice of the Christian Democrats, with RAI Due being allied with the Socialists and RAI Tre with the Communists.



In the mid-1980's, Studio ARA created 3 symbols for RAI's main television channels: a blue sphere for RAI Uno, a red cube for RAI Due and a green pyramid for RAI Tre.

A Handel Gothic typeface was used for RAI's mid-1980's rebrand.



TG1, TG2 and TG3 are RAI's 3 main television news programs, each having a distinct approach.





For TG1 (RAI), it is the oldest and most-watched television news program in Italy; it has often used a conservative, institutional and formal approach since its official 1954 inception.

By countering TG1 (RAI), TG2 (RAI) has a more innovative, dynamic and fast-paced approach.

Meanwhile, TG3 (RAI) has often heavily focused on regional news and social issues.




One of the noted TG1 (RAI) hallmarks is the theme tune being done by an orchestra.

Egidio Storaci composed the iconic and famous TG1 (RAI) theme tune, in turn, inspired by a romantic Latin ballad called Cuando Vuelva a Tu Lado by Mexican singer Maria Grever.



Carlo Pes edited and shortened Egidio Storaci's TG1 (RAI) theme tune into the definitive signature still being used.

Egidio Storaci's TG1 (RAI) theme tune arrangement by Carlo Pes was used until the early-1990's.





As for TG2 (RAI), its first visual identity, which was being masterminded by Piero Gratton and Sandro Lodolo, stood out from the rigid TG1 (RAI) look.

Sandro Brugnolini composed the first theme tune for TG2 (RAI), which had a synth-heavy sound.




With colour television making its arrival in Italy in 1977, TG1 (RAI) had a grid-like logo, which was refined by Massimo Vignelli, with Sandro Lodolo doing the animation.




Unconfined to TG1 (RAI), Massimo Vignelli also designed the TG2 (RAI) rebrand in the late-1980's.




Dervish D by Vangelis was the first TG3 (RAI) theme tune upon its launch, a month before the 1980's decade; it was also used for Rai Regione from the late-1980's until the early-1990's

Brian Eno composed the haunting, yet iconic TG3 (RAI) theme tune, which has a teletype melody.





Under Bruno Vespa, and facing competition from Mediaset's news operations, TG1 (RAI) underwent a rebrand in the early-1990's.

Some noted elements for this early-1990's TG1 (RAI) rebrand included ditching Carlo Pes' TG1 theme tune arrangement for a synth one and using a video wall depicting the newsroom.


Giuseppe Rogolino also masterminded the early-1990's TG1 (RAI) rebrand, with Gianni Boncompagni designing the studio set.



The early-1990's rearrangement of the iconic and famous TG1 (RAI) theme tune was synthesized using electronic keyboards and workstation sequencers.

In July 1993, Tomasso Vittorini revived Carlo Pes' TG1 (RAI) theme in a synth-orchestral sound.



Also in July 1993, Giuseppe Rogolino revived and refined Massimo Vignelli's TG1 (RAI) logo.

Fabrizio Baldoni rearranged Egidio Storaci's iconic TG1 (RAI) theme tune in a synth-orchestral techno arrangement, starting in October 1998.



Celebrating its 50th official anniversary, the TG1 (RAI) theme tune was done by a live orchestra.
