Cafè TV 24 is a local Italian channel based in Padova that calls itself "La TV del Nord Italia". You can watch Cafè TV 24 live on the official website from anywhere, or on free digital terrestrial TV if you live in the north.
What Cafè TV 24 puts on screen
The channel has been around since roughly 2011 and started as a Veneto local station. Local news is the backbone: traffic, regional government, security, tourism and events. The homepage is split into sections like Top News, TG Motori, TG Turismo and Qui Regione Veneto. Films, talk shows, sport and a motors segment fill out the schedule.
This is not a national 24/7 news channel. Think of a regional network with a mix of hyperlocal news and general entertainment.
Friuli Venezia Giulia has its own version, launched on 22 December 2017 on DTT channel 213, with a separate schedule from 2 January 2018. That version carries two daily newscasts, plus local reports and documentaries.
Who this channel is for
Residents of Veneto, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Lombardia, Trentino-Alto Adige, Emilia-Romagna, Piemonte and Liguria are the core audience. If you want road updates, regional politics, local events or a look at places like Cortina d'Ampezzo and Belluno, the news mix fits. Sport and motors fans get their own slots too.
Anyone abroad can stream the channel online. The channel does not publish a separate programme aimed at viewers outside Italy, though.
How to watch Cafè TV 24 online or on TV
Open the website and press play. No account is mentioned. On mobile, the Cafè24 app is available for iOS and Android.
On free digital terrestrial TV, the channel number depends on your region:
- Veneto: 95 and 666
- Friuli Venezia Giulia: 95 and 213
- Trentino-Alto Adige: 274
- Emilia-Romagna: 273
- Piemonte: 96
- Liguria: 192
Numbers can shift when Italy reshuffles its terrestrial lineups, so a quick channel scan on your own TV is worth doing. Stream quality will feel different from one viewer to the next, so a short try is the best test.
