In early July 2026, the national channel Rete 4 announced that it would remove the programme *Quarta Repubblica* from its summer lineup, replacing it with a film. Later in the month, regional broadcasters Telequattro (Friuli‑Venezia Giulia) and Rete Veneta (Veneto) aired full editions of their local news bulletins, TG Trieste and TG Vicenza, respectively. Both stations operate under licences issued by the Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy and are supervised by AGCOM and the regional communications bodies (CORECOM). The two events illustrate ongoing adjustments to programming schedules and the routine confirmation of broadcasting authorisations across Italy’s national and regional television networks.
