Italian regulator Agcom has approved an update to the country's list of events considered of major national importance, marking the first revision since 2012. This expansion dictates events that must be protected for free-to-air broadcasting.
This changes the regulatory boundary around which events must remain available on free-to-air television in Italy. For streaming and pay TV operators, the practical issue is which rights can be acquired and distributed without running into the protected list. The broader ecosystem impact is on sports and event rights planning, since Agcom’s update refreshes rules that had not changed since 2012. Watch for the specific events added to, or removed from, the protected list once Agcom publishes them.
