Rai Südtirol has roots in a station operated by the Ente Italiano per le Audizioni Radiofonich, whose inaugural broadcast aired on 12 July 1928, then in the Italian language, as part of the propaganda of the Mussolini government. German language contributions began in 1945, with the first broadcast in Ladin the following year. In 1960, Rai Bozen began transmitting from Mazziniplatz in Bolzano; it was later renamed to Rai Südtirol.[1]
