La7 is an Italian free-to-air television channel owned by Cairo Communication. Cairo Communication acquired it from Telecom Italia Media, itself owned by Telecom Italia, in 2013.
La7 features a generalist programming schedule, primarily focused on news, current affairs, and entertainment. The channel is known for its in-depth political analysis, talk shows, and investigative journalism, often serving as an alternative to Italy’s major public and commercial broadcasters.
The official voice-over announcer of La7 is the renowned dubbing artist Francesco Prando, while advertising sales are managed by Cairo Pubblicità.
The channel is available across Italy via digital terrestrial television, as well as on satellite platforms such as Sky Italia and Tivùsat. It is also accessible in Switzerland through cable providers.
Signal overspill means that parts of Albania, Croatia, Switzerland, Malta, Montenegro, Monaco and Slovenia also receive La7 broadcasts.
