History

Born as a gemmation by his sister Sportitalia at the beginning of September 2005 with the name of SI Live 24 then becoming in 2007 Sportitalia 24.

From Saturday, April 5, 2008 Sportitalia 24 was also visible in streaming on the official website of the broadcaster.

Since 9 January 2009, Sportitalia and Sportitalia 24 (not included in the ranking relating to the allocation of 40% of the transmission capacity of the national multiplexes) have ceased broadcasting on the Mediaset 2 mux moving to the TIMB 1 mux.

From 10 March 2009 Sportitalia 24 has joined the Sky Italia platform on channel 226.

From 21 August 2009 the channel changed its name to Sportitalia 2. Since the beginning of November of the same year, Sportitalia and Sportitalia 2 broadcast various events in 16:9. During these transmissions, however, the correct flag is not activated.

Since 14 February 2011 the Sportitalia 2 channel has changed multiplexes to digital terrestrial. Tivuitalia, a Screen Service company, has been awarded a contract to broadcast Sportitalia's channels on its frequencies for two years. [1]

Since 7 December 2011 the Sportitalia 1 and Sportitalia 2 channels have been included in the TIMB 2 mux only where the switch-off has already taken place while from 12 December 2011 they are visible to everyone always on the TIMB 2 mux.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Sportitalia 2” is television channel. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Sportitalia, television and channel, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewBest approached as a cultural-object dossier: authorship and date matter, but circulation and reception often explain the wider significance. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2005, 2007, 2008, 2009—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 2005. For this dossier, Sportitalia, television and channel is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “television channel” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 13, 2023.

Critical limits

Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
