TeleTicino (styled in lower case as teleticino) is an Italian-language television channel based in Melide, Switzerland. It was established in 1987.[1]

The channel provides local news and entertainment programming for the Ticino canton, which has a mostly Italian-speaking population.[2] Its programming includes talk shows, political debates, comedies in the local Ticinese dialect, entertainment, and sports.[3]

The channel is majority-owned by Timedia Holding SA,[4] which also owns Corriere del Ticino, a local newspaper.[5] Though it is privately owned, it receives public subsidies from television licence fees.[6]
