[QUOTE="Fisty McB, post: 952723, member: 389824"] It also (sort of) went the other way as well. In Yugoslavia there was a TV channel for the Italian speaking minority in Koper-Caprodistra in Slovenia. For much of the 70's and 80's it was unofficially relayed across Italy, including Rome, because many in Italy had little choice in channels other than RAI (though the Swiss RSI and Tele Monte Carlo were similarly 'relayed') and TV K-C defied most Eastern European stations of the time by not being stiflingly boring. There is a story that goes around that because the Yugoslavs introduced PAL in the early 70's, including TV K-Cs transmissions, and that colour TV had not yet been introduced into Italy, so many Italians had bought PAL TVs to watch K-C that it forced the government there to settle officially on PAL for Italian TV transmissions at a time they were strongly considering SECAM instead. How true this is, I'm not sure. The channel still exists today, but now back to its more humble roots as a local broadcaster. [/QUOTE]
