Why does Italy have so many TV channels? They have an insane amount. I looked through a TV Guide for Sky Italia/Tivu. They have like 18 kids channels. Even companies like Fox/Mediaset/Discovery operate lots of channels. They have some really good quality free to air channels. New channels like Blaze (A&E) Cine Sony, POP (Sony), Alpha (De Agostini) Spike (Viacom) have opened recently. Why is Italy so lucrative for TV channels.
