# List of television channels in Italy

This is a list of national Italian TV services available on digital terrestrial, satellite, cable systems in Italy. Some channels have a "timeshift" service, i.e. the same programming (and usually advertisements as well) broadcast one or two hours later to give viewers another chance to catch a favourite programme. On free satellite, as well as on Sky Italia, foreign channels are also available, such as Euronews, CNN International, MTV Dance, MTV Rocks, etc. For Italian-speaking channels not based in Italy, or not having studios in Italy, please see the link above this paragraph.
