Rei TV

Rei TV is an Italian local television broadcaster headquartered in Acireale, in the Metropolitan City of Catania, Sicily. Its audience area covers the entire territory of Sicily. The station was founded in 1982 by a group of pioneers from Giarre, and its name derives from an initial link with a local private radio station. In the past the network was affiliated with the Supersix syndication. In November 1993 the leadership of the broadcaster passed to publisher Sebastiano Tosto, who remained at the helm until his premature death in November 2005 at the age of 37. The channel's programming is centred mainly on local information through its news programme OraTG. The newsroom produces two daily editions broadcast at 14:00 and 19:40, also repeated in the time slots of 14:30, 22:30 and midnight. On 23 July 2005 the broadcaster's newsroom was struck by a tragic event: cameraman Giovanni Conti and journalistic contributor Rita Privitera were killed in the Sharm el-Sheikh terrorist attacks. The event drew condolences and solidarity from the world of journalism and the institutions. As a regional broadcaster, Rei TV operates within the Italian local television landscape, serving Sicilian audiences with news and local programming. Its official website is reitv.it.
