Real Time (Discovery Real Time until 31 August 2010) is an Italian television channel owned by Warner Bros. Discovery EMEA.
The channel launched on 1 October 2005, becoming the sixth Discovery network to launch in Italy. It showed lifestyle programmes targeting a female upper-class audience of 25- to 44-year-olds. It features both foreign programmes and Italian programmes produced for the channel.[2][3]
On 7 April 2009 the channel adopted a new logo and a new look. This look had previously been adopted by Discovery Real Time France.[4]
After becoming the most viewed non-fiction entertainment channel on the Sky Italia platform, on 1 September 2010, it changed its name to "Real Time", and became available both on digital terrestrial and via free-to-air satellite, also joining the Tivùsat platform.
On 8 November 2010 the +1 version of the channel began, and from 1 February 2012 it also broadcasts in high definition.
On 13 March 2019 the SD version on the satellite definitively closed.
From 9 April Real Time, together with the other free channels of the group, became available also in HD streaming on the Dplay platform.
From 1 March 2019, on Tivùsat, the "HD" and "+1" versions replace the SD version, therefore they become visible to LCN 31 and 131 respectively.
On 1 December 2020 Real Time +1 was discontinued.
The channel broadcasts both foreign programmes and a few original Italian productions. Most acquired programmes were originally produced for the American TLC or the British Channel 4.
