The history of the group It originates from the Corriere del Ticino, the main daily newspaper in Italian-speaking Switzerland founded in 1891 by Agostino Soldati, which for several years has embarked on a path of multimedia differentiation, both of its offer (the newspaper is proposed in the traditional paper version, in the digital one for tablets and smartphones and in the cdt.ch website for continuous information 24h24), and including other media. Today, in addition to the Corriere, the group includes TeleTicino, the first private television station in Switzerland, Radio3i, the most listened to private radio in Ticino and another well-known information site, Ticinonews.ch. Gruppo Corriere del Ticino also owns 45% of Rezzonico Editore (publisher of Tessiner Zeitung, Ticino Wine, Ticino Top Ten) and 2R Media (publisher of the Sunday newspaper il Caffè) as well as other passive minority shareholdings in other Ticino publishing companies.
