Michael Wilke of The Commercial Closet writes about queer television channels here in the US and in Europe.

Gay channels aren?t just for North America. After several delays, Pink TV is still expected to launch in France this summer and GAY-TV of Italy became Europe?s first gay network in May 2002, free to satellite dish owners. GAY-TV pulled in advertisers Dolce & Gabbana and Renault. The channel, owned by Dutch investor Coril, claims daily viewership of up to 500,000 Italians, half of whom are straight.

Please keep your comment on topic.

I'm a happily gay atheist. Homophobic, racist comments and conversion attempts are deleted.

Disagreement is fine but hate speech won't be tolerated. Even if you share my prejudices I'd rather you not insult other people who leave comments here.

This is a personal hobby and shouldn't be confused with a more general sort of public forum or chatroom. you'd like to know more about me check about page.

Thanks, Richard
