History
In September 2001, Stuart Media Group was awarded a licence by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) for a specialty channel to be called The Gaming Channel. Before the channels launch, Stuart Media reached an agreement with American television network, Casino & Gaming Television (CGTV), to use the channels name and brand for its channel. The channel launched in October 2005 as CGTV and was devoted to casinos, casino games and the gaming lifestyle; featuring tournaments, casino games, gaming destinations and more.
On October 26, 2007 at 6:00 pm EDT; CGTV was re-named GameTV.
