GAY.tv
Television channel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
GAY.tv was an Italian television channel with programming aimed at LGBTQ audiences. It operated between 2002 and 18 December 2008, when it was shut down due to low revenue, with all activity focused on its website instead. The website would also cease its activity without warning in late 2015.
The channel was the only one in Italy to broadcast the Eurovision Song Contest while Italian national broadcaster RAI, which had previously been responsible for the country's participation in the contest, was on a participation hiatus between 1997 and 2011; it aired the 2003 contest, with Fabio Canino and Paolo Quilici providing commentary.[1]
