RSI LA 1 (la uno, formerly TSI 1) is one of two television channels produced by Radiotelevisione Svizzera di lingua Italiana for the Italian-speaking community of Switzerland. LA 1, which can be received in all parts of the country, is a generalist channel with a schedule encompassing news, entertainment, drama, cinema films, documentaries, and sport.
From 1993 to 1997 the British graphic design company Lambie-Nairn produced for LA 1 the idents and the commercial bumpers of the masked troubadour, who was played by the British actor Joplin Sibtain.{{Cite book |last=Lambie-Nairn |first=Martin |title=Brand Identity for Television: With Knobs On |publisher=Phaidon |year=1997 |isbn=9780714834474 |pages=194–205}}{{Cite news |date=January 1994 |title=Lambie-Nairn + Company reveal their role in helping the Swiss take on a new character |work=Creative Review |pages=44–45 |volume=14 |issue=1}}{{Cite web |title=Giù la maschera |trans-title=Take off the mask |url=https://epaper.cooperazione.ch/_deploy/CO/19931007/CO70/pdf_noenc/47_d44d93011f.pdf |language=it}}

Until February 28, 2009, the station was called TSI 1, and before that (before TSI 2 went on air) RTSI. RSI LA1 has also been broadcast in HD since February 29, 2012.
