About the broadcast

The Giro d'Italia is organized by RCS Sport, which commissions EMG/Gravity Media to produce the international host broadcast. EMG Italy manages the full production across all 21 stages, with EMG Netherlands distributing the finished signal to rights-holding broadcasters worldwide — which is why the same coverage appears simultaneously on RAI in Italy, Eurosport across Europe, and streaming platforms globally. Each stage broadcast averages six to seven hours, beginning 30 minutes before the flag drops and running 45 minutes past the stage finish to include the jersey and podium presentations.
