The channel was due to be launched on 13 September 2006 but it was held back by technical problems.

Also Gala TV moved their live hours to 6 pm to 2 am after a successful trial in previous months.

In June 2008, Gala TV and Gala Bingo launched the Live TV Bingo room where players could view the show live on their PCs as well as playing along with the games.

On Monday 1 December 2008, Gala TV's daytime schedule underwent a massive change.

Gala TV launched a new roulette product to be broadcast at several times throughout the day.

In January this was removed from the daytime schedule due to poor viewing figures with more people opting to play bingo.

On Tuesday 2 March 2009, Gala TV went online 24 hours a day.

Due to this all Gala Casino related programs were scrapped in order for non-stop 24-hour bingo.

On Monday 4 January 2010, after a number of requests by Gala TV players, the live show was moved back to 5 pm to 1 am, meaning that players could enjoy live bingo one hour earlier.

Another reason for the move was the number of people playing originally in the 1 am hour was low.

Since Friday 1 April 2011, Gala TV has only been available via GalaBingo.com and no longer broadcasts on Sky channel 861.

On the same date, Gala TV was given a full revamp of its virtual studio and the show itself had more emphasis on the community aspect rather than the bingo.
