This is a list of Italian television related events from 1972.

Events

  • January 6: Nicola Di Bari wins Canzonissima with Chitarra suona più piano.
  • January 26: The doctor Massimo Inardi, an expert in classical music, loses the title of champion of the quiz Rischiatutto. He had retained the title for eight weeks, after having gained the (by then) astronomical sum of 48.300.000 liras. Inardi, a renowned parapsychology scholar, became very popular and received the nickname of “magician” for his presumed extrasensory perception power to read the quiz's answers in the mind of the presenter Mike Bongiorno. In June, Inardi wins the final of the show.[1]
  • 24–26 February: Sanremo Festival, hosted by Mike Bongiorno, Sylvia Koscina and Paolo Villaggio. The winner is Nicola Di Bari with I giorni dell’arcobaleno (Rainbows’ day).[2]
  • April 6: Beginning of broadcasts for the cable television channel Telebiella, founded by the businessman and TV director Giuseppe Sacchi and by the anchorman Enzo Tortora. In spite of its poor means, it is met with a wide success in the Biella district. Its example is followed by other local cable television channels in the whole Italy.[3] Another breaking in the RAI monopoly are the foreign channels (TSI1, Tv Koper-Capodistria, Antenne 2) relayed also in the internal regions of Italy by private aerials.[4]
  • August 26: RAI broadcasts in PAL color the opening ceremony of the 1972 Summer Olympics.[5] Until September 11, the games are shown in color, alternating between the PAL and SECAM systems. The German system appears to be the superior one. The expected transition of RAI to color television, wanted by the Post and Communication minister Giovanni Gioia, is however further delayed by the opposition of the Republican Party, which sees it as an incentive to consumerism. The Republican Party threatens a government crisis about the matter.[6]
  • September 20: for the Festa dell’Unità, the PCI puts into operation a cable television channel, broadcasting the events of the festival.[7]
  • December 15: the convention assigning the radio-TV services to RAI, is expected to expire after twenty years. It is extended for another year.[7]
