## History

The channel was originally launched in Italy in 1998 on satellite television platform Stream TV and continued on SKY Italia from July 31, 2003 to June 1, 2008. A carriage dispute led the channel to be replaced by MGM Channel. The Studio Global channel resumed on May 8, 2009, on Premium Gallery, part of pay-television platform Mediaset Premium.

It was announced in November, 2008 by Steve Patscheck, director of "Global Networks Latin America", that the channel would be launched in Latin America on February 1, 2010 replacing The Hallmark Channel in the region. Studio Global launched in September 30, 2011 in South Africa and sub-saharan Africa.

In 2023, Studio Global made its first launch in Southeast Asia thru TAP DMV's over-the-top streaming service BlastTV in the Philippines.
