For a few years, the station was a part of the Rete Italia syndication network led by Silvio Berlusconi's Tele Milano with a schedule consisting of movies, TV shows, cartoons and lots of self-produced sports shows. In 1981, the channel expands their coverage to the whole of Veneto and Trentino Alto-Adige and opened their news department in 1984. At this point, their news department had become a basic element of the station, featuring debates on the various aspects of local society and news bulletins. The first news bulletin from their Padova headquarters debuted in 1994. In 2007, the channel's web portal launched.
The network got internet attention in 2005 thanks to videos of Germano Mosconi's rampage coming from late-80s news bulletins.[citation needed]
