TV Koper Capodistria is a Slovene free-to-air television channel based in Koper, Slovenia. Mainly funded by state aid, the channel serves the Italian-speaking minority in Slovenia and Croatia. It can also be received in the Italian region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia.
History
On 6 May 1971, TV Koper-Capodistria began its operations, when, at the time, there were no private channels in Italy. Two days later on 8 May, the first news bulletin aired, an Italian news service catering the Italian minority in northwestern Yugoslavia, broadcasting in color (six years in advance compared to RAI): Capodistria became the first television station in an adjacent area to Italy to broadcast in color and rapidly expanded across most of the Italian territory.[1] It aired the 1972 Summer Olympics, the 1974 FIFA World Cup, UEFA Euro 1976 and the 1976 Summer Olympics.
Popular shows
The channel covers international, regional, and local news from both sides of the border. The editorial section for culture programmes shows Artevisione, Istria e... dintorni, L’Universo e`... and Itinerari. The shows, with documentaries, reports, and magazine formats, focus on the regional and local cultural life in Slovenia, Italy, and Croatia.[2]
The channel is notable by the first music video TV show, not only in the former Titoist Yugoslavia, but also in the neighboring Italy, featuring popular Western music videos during the 1980s with its host Dario Diviacchi enjoining a star status among his young TV audience. The show, first under the name "Alta Pressione" ("High Pressure") and later "Video Mix", was on air every Thursday evening. A phone-in format with the TV viewers choosing among the music videos to be aired on the show, was introduced later with host Alex Bini.[3]
The music program made the channel popular in Italy, where the show was the third most viewed TV show in 1985.[3]
