Sportitalia to offer broad appeal – director

Relaunched Italian sports broadcaster Sportitalia will not just focus on football, according to director Michele Criscitiello.

Sportitalia, which started broadcasting earlier this month, will also show basketball, boxing and rugby, amongst other sports, Criscitiello said at a press conference.

The broadcaster’s three channels, Sportitalia 1, Sportitalia 2 and news channel Sportitalia 24, closed down in October due to financial problems.
