The first radio broadcast in Ladin language from the Rai headquarters in Bolzano was aired on April 4, 1946; The programming remained sporadic and episodic until 1955, when a first schedule was set, covering six days a week. Television broadcasts began experimentally between 1977 and 1979 on the initiative of journalists Carl Insam and Erwin Frenes.
