Italy: Communications Regulatory Authority adopted list of general interest services pursuant to resolution no. 250/25/CONS

On 19 January 2026, the Communications Regulatory Authority (AGCOM) adopted the list of audiovisual and radio media services of general interest distributed online in accordance with resolution no. 250/25/CONS. The list implements the guidelines regarding the prominence of general interest services, which aim to ensure that specific media content remains accessible and visible to the public on digital interfaces. The list is organised into five distinct categories: services provided by the public service concessionaire, national commercial audiovisual services, local commercial audiovisual services, national commercial radio services, and local commercial radio services. While providers are listed in alphabetical order within these sections, AGCOM clarifies that this sequence is purely for enumerative purposes and does not override the specific placement requirements established in the guidelines. Following the publication, which occurred on 19 January 2026, interested parties have a 15-day period to submit requests for the rectification of information or report the absence of services that previously applied for inclusion. These communications must be sent via certified email to the authority, providing the original application date and the names of the provider and service. Furthermore, national and local radio services distributed via analogue or digital broadcasting, including AM, DAB+, and FM, are automatically qualified as general interest services and are therefore not explicitly featured in this online-specific list.
