GXT was an Italian subscription-based comedy/entertainment television channel.

History

Jetix Europe launched GXT as a male teen channel in May 2005 on Mondo Sky.[1] On June 1, 2008, a 1-hour-timeshift of GXT was launched on Sky Italia.

Due to Disney's decision to rebrand the Jetix Europe operation under the Disney XD brand umbrella, the Italian subsidiary of Jetix Europe, Jetix Italy S.r.l., bought the Italian Jetix network, renamed itself as Switchover Media, agreed to let the Jetix Italy channel rebrand itself to Disney XD Italy, and purchased K-2 and GXT from Jetix Europe in June 2009.[2][3] With the acquisition of Switchover Media in January 2013 by Discovery Communications, GXT began to be managed by Discovery EMEA.[4]

On December 31, 2014, GXT and its timeshift ceased broadcasting, after Discovery decided to not renew their broadcast deal with Sky Italia to operate the network.[5]

Contents
