Initially born as an Internet blog, Byoblu is based exclusively on the economic support deriving from free donations from citizens.[2][1]
Byoblu is also a publishing house,[3] a radio station, and since 2024 it has become a joint stock company.[4][5]
History
changeFounded in 2007 as a website and YouTube channel by Claudio Messora,[1] who was a former member of the Five Star Movement party,[6] Byoblu transformed in 2019 into a company, and in 2020 into a regional television station, which became national in April 2021 after a fundraising campaign by free citizens.[7][2]
Since then, Byoblu has continued to be supported by donations from voluntary contributors.[1][8]
