Televisione svizzera di lingua italiana (TSI) is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. It plans to celebrate the anniversary in the fall with a series of events on and off the screen. The company announced on Monday that it first wanted to get the Euro 2008 and the Summer Olympics behind it. TSI went on air for the first time on June 18, 1958 with a team of six. For the first three years, the program was produced in Zurich. The move to Ticino took place in 1961 and the studios were housed in an old streetcar depot in Paradiso near Lugano. Today, TSI is based in Comano above the city of Lugano.
