And that use continues to climb...

GAY-TV began in May 2002 as an experiment in niche marketing, but quickly pulled in major advertisers like Dolce & Gabbana, Eagle Pictures and Renault (with an ad for the Clio that shows a male cop pulling over a car, looking at the male driver and whipping out his pad - to write not a ticket, but his phone number). The channel claims peak-hour viewership of up to 500,000 Italian households. The numbers may be small compared...
