La7 is an Italian private television channel (usually referred to as "the Seventh Channel") and considered as the third major network in Italy. It is currently owned by Telecom Italia Media, the media branch of the telephone company Telecom Italia, which also owns 51% of MTV Italia. Usually its programs are more cultural-oriented, although it also airs some sport games.
HistoryIn 2001, Lorenzo Pellicioli and Roberto Colaninno, of Telecom Italia announced they had acquired Telemontecarlo, in order to create a strong competitor against the six other national channels in Italy. However, against all the ambitions shown initially by the owner and the initial premises, like the hiring of popular TV hosts, anchors and journalists like Fabio Fazio, Gad Lerner and Giuliano Ferrara, nowadays La7 still has ratings and shares much lower than its major competitors: the three RAI public channels, and the three Mediaset private ones.
