Rai 2 is one of the three main television channels broadcast by Italian public television company RAI alongside with Rai 1 and Rai 3. Rai 2 first started broadcasting on 4 November 1961. In the eighties it was known for its political affiliation to the Italian Socialist Party; in recent years it shifted its focus toward talk shows, reality television and infotainment.

Until the 1975-1976 season regular broadcasting was monochrome, with very few exceptions. Since the 1976 summer season, then called Rete 2 began airing at first some new show in colour, then a semi-regular colour broadcasting during the fall season (anyway few hours a week). Rai 1 followed its "sister network" some month later. Eventually, regular broadcasting in colour began in February 1, 1977.

  • Rischiatutto, one hour long Italian version of Jeopardy!, hosted by Mike Bongiorno, aired on Thursday night, from February 5, 1970, at 9:15 PM (in 1972 season at 9:30 PM). About 20 millions of viewer watched every episode of the show,[3] the first one aired on Rai 2 to enter in the list of the Ten Most Watched Programs on Italian TV during the year. Last two seasons (1973 and 1974) were aired on Rai 1.
  • Ondalibera (known popularly as Televacca, Cow TV), one hour long comedy and satirical show hosted by a very young Roberto Benigni, in his television debut. In the show, the Tuscan peasant Mario Cioni (Benigni) hosts a program aired in the fictional local channel Televacca, which has its headquarters in a stable full of hay and animals. Using a sometimes vulgar and desecrating speech, with a heavy Tuscan accent, Benigni improvised monologues and satirized the TV medium and the society. Co-hosts were the boor Monna (Carlo Monni) and his "daughter" Donatella, a Daisy Mae Yokum style young woman.[4] Considered one of the most controversial programs in Italian TV history, censored and interrupted after only four episodes despite a relatively good success, the program debuted in December 19, 1976, airing on Sunday nights at 8:45 PM.[5]

Dead Reckoning

by: Ratt

You know you're livin' a lie when you just can't win
Pulling in first prize ain't gonna give you a break
You know I'm kickin' back, I had a broken wing
Me and my shadow are the next best thing
I need someone
You know it might take more than you give to me
Are you gun-shy, are you listening?
What we got here is dead reckoning
And take me in for the night in the right time zone
We'll do what you like, make a left turn home
I put out the light, you're turnin' way too red
No stop sign straight up ahead
You need so much
So much sympathy
That's more than I can say
You know it's not too late
Are you gun-shy, are you listening?
What we got here is dead reckoning
And if it feels good, we'll do it again
See your way clear, dead reckoning
Tell me why, tell me why
Are you listening?
Are you listening?
Are you listening?
Are you listening?
You mean so much
So much to me
That's more than I can say
You know it's not too late
Are you gun-shy, are you listening?
What we got here is dead reckoning
And if it feels good, we'll do it again
See your way clear, dead reckoning, yeah
What we got here is dead reckoning
