Südtirol Digital Fernsehen (SDF) is an Italian private television channel based in Bolzano (German: Bozen), in the autonomous province of South Tyrol (Italian: Alto Adige, German: Südtirol).[2] It is the province's only private channel broadcast in German.
SDF is a general interest channel with a focus on hourly news. Local culture and sports also make a significant part of its programming.[1]
The channel's main anchor is Magdalena Steiner, previously with German channel de:München TV.[1] In 2015, the press reported that veteran Rai Südtirol anchor Jimmy Nussbaumer had privately submitted a plan to defect to SDF and use his professional connections to build the young channel into a direct competitor for his former employer, but his demands – which included a hefty salary and studio upgrades worth €3 million upfront – were deemed excessive.[3]
SDF has an Italian-language sister channel called VB33.[2]
