Overview

Napoli Tivù was an Italian regional television broadcaster founded in Naples in 1977. It was acquired in 1988 by engineer Francesco Mazzarella and subsequently directed by his daughter, Gianna Mazzarella. The channel was available in the Campania region through its own multiplex on channel 80 of the automatic channel ordering system, and could also be viewed throughout Italy via streaming on its website. The station was particularly noted for its locally rooted news coverage between the 1970s and 1990s. In 1982 it was the official television of Diego Armando Maradona, and in 1999 it produced talk shows with a young Maurizio Costanzo. In the early 2000s it served as a breeding ground for cabaret, later consolidating its schedule around news programming. In 2007 it produced "Xanax, la pillola che leva le ansie del cittadino" (Xanax, the pill that removes citizens' anxieties), hosted by Luca Abete, which used hidden cameras to expose shortcomings in Campania, producing breath-taking investigations. These investigations were also broadcast by Striscia La Notizia and TV Koper-Capodistria. The channel's programming included shows such as Made in Love, Giallo Zafferano, Venture, Napoli nel Cuore, Nozze e Dintorni, DiciCiao, Xanax, +Sanità, NTV Speciale salute, Talent Time, Prima Fila, Mavacao, Il Tramezzino, Luna Rossa, Casba, 80nostalgia, Chef a sorpresa, and Ecomoda. It also aired telenovelas including Betty la fea, Manuela, Tormento d'amore - La vera storia del conte Dracula, Perla nera, Celeste, Celeste 2, and Illusione d'amore, as well as animated series such as Mechander Robot, Astrorobot contatto Ypsilon, Godam, Zambot 3, Starzinger, Moon Mask Rider, and Angie Girl. The broadcaster's frequencies included channel 53 on Monte Faito (NA), Camaldoli (NA), Monte Montone (CE), Sessa Aurunca (CE), MonteVergine (AV), Masso della Signora (SA), Iaconti di Dragonea (SA), M.S. Angelo (SA), Perdifumo (SA), Camposauro - Vitulano (BN), Belvedere del Sannio - S. Marco ai Monti, and S. Nicola Manfredi (BN).
