TV Koper Capodistria is a bilingual, Slovene-Italian language television channel based in Koper, Slovenia. Mainly founded by state aids, 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== The channel started transmissions on May 6, 1971, transmitting on Channel 27 on the UHF dial when in Italy there was still no private TV over the air. The channel had a crucial advantage: it was mostly in color. This made the channel popular in its coverage area, the Croatian zone of Istria and the Italian region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia. When TV Koper-Capodistria appeared and met with a favorable response in parts of Italy adjacent to Yugoslavia, some enterprising Italians established a network of private transmitters across Italy, breaking the monopoly established by RAI as viewers embraced the channel's diet of cartoons, subtitled movies, sports, popular series, and more internationally-oriented news. Telecapodistria (the name of TV koper-Capodistria in Italy) also helped Italy to adopt the PAL color TV standard, as many Italians bought PAL TV sets in order to tune Telecapodistria. 〔 In 1976, Italy's constitutional court ruled that privately owned, fully commercial stations could be established on Italian soil. As a consequence of this, hundreds of local television stations appeared in the following years, all in color. TeleCapodistria’s unique role was over, and advertising revenue began to dry up. 〔 Between 1987 and 1990, TeleCapodistria enjoyed a brief resurrection as a major television player. It signed a deal with Silvio Berlusconi, the owner of Italy’s three major private networks, that allowed him to operate, but not own, TeleCapodistria. Berlusconi programmed the station as an all-sports service, once again making it popular throughout Italy. Viewers from around the country, as well as Yugoslavia, eagerly tuned into sports events that were not available on the other channels, including exclusive coverage of NBA basketball, with legendary commentary by US-born Dan Peterson, who spoke Italian with a charming American accent. But this arrangement did not last long. With pay television on the horizon, Berlusconi decided to end his all-sports channel in 1990. TeleCapodistria was left without any transmitters in Italy and finally became what it was designed to be back in 1971: a regional service primarily intended for the Italian community in Istria. It was once again more commonly known as TV Koper-Capodistria. 〔 In 2006, in the spirit of the new cooperation between Slovenia and Italy, with the support of the means of the Italian government and the Region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, through collaboration between the Italian Union and the People's University of Trieste, TV Koper starts to broadcast via satellite across Europe through Eutelsat Hot Bird 13° east. It is a new impetus to the growth of the channel and dissemination of its programs. On 18 May 2010 TV Koper-Capodistria returns fully in Italy with the spread of its programming throughout the national territory through the Italian satellite television platform "Tivusat" operating within the satellite Eutelsat Hot Bird 13 ° east. On 22 November 2010, the channel ended analogical broadcast, starting HD broadcasting with the DVB-T standard. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「TV Koper-Capodistria」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
