GAY.tv, having debuted in 2002, was the only Italian television channel with programming aimed at LGBT, or lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender, audiences. On 18 December 2008, due to low revenue, it shut down operations and focused all activity on the website. On 13 September, GAY.tv launched a new website which returned some of the original material from the TV show.
