Overview

LiraTv (stylized LIRATV) is an Italian local television broadcaster headquartered in Salerno, in the Campania region. It was founded in 1981 by Raffaele Budetti under its current name and is today directed by Girolamo Budetti. The station serves the Salerno area and the wider Campania region with a schedule built around local news, sports and community affairs. The channel's news output is anchored by multiple daily editions of its telegiornale, broadcast at 13:55, 19:55, 22:25, 23:55, 02:55 and 06:25. Morning information begins at 06:55 with Buongiorno LI.RA., a current-affairs container that includes a daily press review, traffic and weather updates, and live contributions from law-enforcement agencies reporting on overnight checks. The station's website offers streaming of its programmes. LiraTv is particularly associated with coverage of local sport, especially the football club Salernitana, through programmes such as Salerno nel Pallone, Andiamo allo stadio, Goal su Goal and Linea ai Tifosi. It also covers major provincial events including the Giffoni Film Festival, and for 31 years has broadcast live the world high-diving championship from Furore. Every 31 December it airs live the New Year's concert held in Salerno before large crowds. The broadcaster has placed emphasis on accessibility and inclusion: it has added an Italian Sign Language (LIS) version of its telegiornale and of some of its main current-affairs programmes, and it produced Aljalira, the first Arabic-language news programme in the region. It moved to 16:9 broadcasting on 3 February 2016, stopped transmitting on YouTube on 22 June 2019, and returned to YouTube with Reels on 1 April 2026. Its editorial line is local and community-focused, combining traditional television news with digital streaming and social-media distribution.
