Siena has two regional TV channels, Canale 3 en SienaTV. The latter has announced its programming for the days of the Palio. Through #passionepalio, they will bring all the emotions of the Piazza to your home.

From 11 to 17 August, SienaTV will start with a special programming around the Palio. As in previous years, they will focus on many live broadcasts, supporting programs with analyses and some established formats dedicated to the Palio.

You can follow them via digital TV in the Siena region (Digitale terrestre canale 91), radio (Radio Siena 92.2 and 93.7 fm) and for anyone who is not in Siena via the website (https://www.radiosienatv.it) and its social channels.

The live coverage starts with the broadcast of the drappellone presentation on August 10 at 7:00 PM and Prove regolamentate on August 11 and 12, each time from 5:30 AM.

Every morning from 7:15 AM we are welcomed with “Buongiorno Palio” where they go through the local press and make live connections with the Piazza. Viola Carignani continues ‘Buongiorno Palio’ every day from 10:00 AM with various guests from Siena and the Palio.

On August 13, in addition to the registration of the horses, they also broadcast the batterie and the assegnazione. At 1:00 PM follows “Processo alla Prova”, led by Matteo Borsi and Veronica Costa. In this you will be able to follow live which fantino goes to which contrada. “Processo alla Prova” will also be broadcast on 14, 15 and 16 August from 13:00 to 15:00. On those days, we will look back and forward to the Prova.

On 16 August, in addition to the usual formats, there will be a live broadcast of the Corteo Storico from 17:00, led by Massimo Biliorsi, Claudio Giomini, Susanna Pioli and Daniele Magrini. This will be followed by the broadcast of the Palio, where the La7 stream will be available on SienaTV. “Processo al Palio” will follow from 23:00, full of commentaries, interviews and analyses of the race that has just been ridden.

In addition to these live broadcasts, there are also formats that run throughout the day: in “Per Forza e per Sapore”, Luciano Sardone dives into the kitchens of the contrade. Daniele Magrini made “Memorie di Contrada”. Of course, “Le Stagioni del Palio” by Massimo Billiorsi will also return. Also ‘Unti Dal Signore’, ‘Rinascere a Siena’ and ‘Vai e torna’ are on the programme every day.

In the evening between 22:00 and 24:00 there is “Piazza con Vista” with Simona Sassetti and Valentina Tomei. In this they receive guests, music and bring back the atmosphere in the city.

All batterie of the tratta, prove and Palio will of course also be broadcast with commentary by Claudio Giomini and Susanna Pioli.

On 17 August, in addition to the repeats of the Palio, the following programmes are ready: “Buongiorno Palio – il giorno dopo”, at 7:30 presented by Alessandro Pagliai and from 13:00 “Palio, il giorno dopo”, with Veronica Costa, Viola Carignani and Alessandro Pagliai.

All of this can be seen via the livestream on the website: www.radiosienatv.it

Canale 3 will of course also broadcast everything (tratta, prove, Palio) under the established name “96 ore di Palio”. In the afternoon there is always the program with the ex-fantini who shed light on everything that is going on. Unfortunately, Canale 3 did not share a program (yet). Canale 3 can be seen via the website: Canale3.tv or via the app that you can find in the app store for Android.

The online news site Gazzetta di Siena also shared its program. As always, they will broadcast the presentation of the Palio, Prove di Notte, Tratta and prove. They also have a few programs in which they discuss the events. This can be followed via their website, youtube-kanaal and facebookpagina.
