20 is an Italian free-to-air television channel, operated by Mediaset and owned by MFE - MediaForEurope. It was founded and started to broadcast in 2018.

History

[edit]

Following the acquisition of channel 20 from the Television Broadcasting System Group, from 5 May 2017 to 22 March 2018, Mediaset broadcast a provisional program consisting of fiction and telenovelas from the Mediaset library, with the brand Retecapri, which, from 22 March 2018, had given way to promos advertising the new channel 20.

Launch

[edit]

The channel officially launched at 7:30 pm on 3 April 2018 with the first round of the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League between Juventus FC and Real Madrid C.F. followed by the exclusive match in free-to-air, averaging 6,569,000 viewers and 23.35% ratings share.[1] It was the most watched program that evening.
