The channel was first launched in 2005 under the ownership of Stuart Media Group as Casino and Gaming Television (CGTV), which primarily focused on sports betting and televised poker. Larry Tanenbaum's Insight Sports served as the channel's operating partner.
In 2007, the channel was re-launched under its current name, expanding its format to include competition-based programming (including game shows and reality competition series) and films telecasts, while eventually phasing out its casino-based programming. GameTV was acquired by Anthem in 2016, after which it briefly added sports and sports entertainment-based programming.
