Società Editrice del Corriere del Ticino SA

For good journalism since 1891

The history of the group

It originates from the Corriere del Ticino, the main daily newspaper in Italian-speaking Switzerland founded in 1891 by Agostino Soldati, which for several years has embarked on a path of multimedia differentiation, both of its offer (the newspaper is proposed in the traditional paper version, in the digital one for tablets and smartphones and in the cdt.ch website for continuous information 24h24), and including other media.

Today, in addition to the Corriere, the group includes TeleTicino, the first private television station in Switzerland, Radio3i, the most listened to private radio in Ticino and another well-known information site, Ticinonews.ch.

Gruppo Corriere del Ticino also owns 45% of Rezzonico Editore (publisher of Tessiner Zeitung, Ticino Wine, Ticino Top Ten) and 2R Media (publisher of the Sunday newspaper il Caffè) as well as other passive minority shareholdings in other Ticino publishing companies.
Since 2008, Teleticino and Radio3i have benefited from a federal licence for the broadcasting of regional radio and television programmes in Switzerland.

The headquarters of Corriere del Ticino are located in Muzzano, while that of Radio3i of Teleticino and Ticinonews.ch, in Melide.
MediaTI Marketing, the first cross-media advertising agency in Ticino, founded in 2016, is also part of the Corriere del Ticino Group.

Our mission is to inform and entertain the people of Ticino with quality and professionalism every day. We do it thanks to paper, radio, TV and the web.
