This is an exciting initiative as it allows Rai to deliver live channels for the first time in the UK and Spain, two areas where the Italian communities have increased enormously in recent years.

The channel selection made available by Rai includes: Rai Italia HD, Rai 1 HD, Rai 2 HD, Rai 3 HD, Rai News, Rai Storia HD and Rai Scuola HD.

Il Globo TV will also include channels and programs from other networks in Italy including LA7 Italia, TV2000, Inter TV, Italian cartoons, movies and documentaries.

Throughout 2024, additional channels and on demand content will be added to the Il Globo TV package.

The Il Globo TV streaming service for Italians overseas, is available by downloading an app to your television: Samsung, LG, Roku, Apple TV, Android, Amazon, or tablet / phone: Android or iOS.

The bridge between cultures that Il Globo began building with Italy in November 1959 is becoming easier to cross thanks to new technologies. Almost sixty-five years after our first few pages were prepared in Melbourne, Il Globo has extended to offer a daily news service ilglobo.com, radio via Rete Italia and now also Il Globo TV.

Currently present in Australia, New Zealand, Latin America, the new agreement with Rai will extend Il Globo TV to the UK, Spain, South Ireland, Portugal, Switzerland, France, Belgium, Malta, Greece, Cyprus, Turkey, Romania, Moldovia, Finland, Latvia and Lithuania.

Times have changed, but the essence of the Il Globo project started over sixty years ago has never changed: that is, to serve the community, to act as a bridge between Italy and Italians overseas, not only where information is concerned but also by spreading Italian language, traditions and culture.

In UK the Il Globo TV offer is GBP £ 7.95 per month.

The plan available in Spain, South Ireland, Portugal, Switzerland, France, Belgium, Malta, Greece, Cyprus, Turkey, Romania, Moldovia, Finland, Latvia and Lithuania is EURO € 7.95 per month.

All plans are available with a 7 day free trial, so the service can be trialled for free before having to pay.
