Overview

Twentyseven, also styled 27Twentyseven, is an Italian television channel owned and operated by the media group Mediaset. It was launched on 17 January 2022 at 1:30 AM, taking over the channel 27 position on Italy's digital terrestrial television (DTT) that had previously been used by Paramount Network. The launch followed the closure of Paramount Network and Mediaset's acquisition of the logical channel numbers (LCNs) formerly held by Paramount Global Italy. The channel is available in high definition 24 hours a day on digital terrestrial (within Mediaset multiplex 1), via satellite on Hot Bird 13C on the Sky and Tivùsat platforms, and via streaming on Mediaset Infinity and TIMvision. Its programming is dedicated primarily to international films and TV series, with a strong emphasis on American comedies and blockbusters. The schedule includes classic and contemporary US series such as La casa nella prateria (Little House on the Prairie), A-Team, CHiPs, Shameless, Camera Café, Una mamma per amica (Gilmore Girls), The Goldbergs, Hazzard (The Dukes of Hazzard), Un detective in corsia (Diagnosis: Murder), Everwood, La signora del West (Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman), Agenzia Rockford (The Rockford Files), Milagros, Supercar (Knight Rider), and Miami Vice. The channel's announcers, who provide the voice for its promos, include Marcella Silvestri, Niseem Onorato, Mario Zucca, Claudio Moneta, and Massimo Braccialarghe. Twentyseven is part of Mediaset's portfolio of thematic channels, alongside Cine34, Iris, and 20. It is a free-to-air channel, funded by advertising, and does not require a subscription. The channel's branding and name are inspired by the eponymous comic book character, as indicated by the official website's description of the film Flash Gordon, which references the character and the Queen soundtrack. Twentyseven represents Mediaset's strategy to target audiences interested in imported English-language series and films, particularly from the United States, and to monetize the channel 27 position on the DTT grid.
