Inter TV is a subscription-based channel, entirely dedicated to the Italian professional football club Inter. It is headquartered at the training centre of Inter in Appiano Gentile. The channel offers Inter fans exclusive interviews with players and staff, full matches, including replays of all Serie A, Coppa Italia, and Champions League/Europa League games, in addition to vintage matches, footballing news, and other themed programming. It first broadcast on 20 September 2000 as Inter Channel, with the current name being adopted on 28 September 2017.
Inter Channel was born on 20 September 2000, as an Option of the TELE+ Digital platform: to see the channel, in fact, it was necessary to pay an additional amount on the price of the pay TV subscription. On 31 July 2003, coinciding with the merger between TELE+ Digitale and Stream TV, the channel became available at number 232 on Sky Italia, again as Option.
The channel broadcasts exclusive interviews with Inter coaches and players, as well as reruns of all the team's matches played - Serie A, Coppa Italia and any European competitions - with live, pre- and post-match connections from the stadiums. Added to this are the live broadcasts of the training sessions, the press conferences in full, daily news bulletins, an overview of the Nerazzurri youth sector, and various in-depth programs on the various issues concerning the club: among the latter, there is no shortage of spaces dedicated to the Inter fans, or to the memory and analysis of the team's past years.
On the occasion of the creation of the Inter Media House structure and the rebrand of the club's multimedia contents, on 28 September 2017 Inter Channel became Inter TV and began broadcasting in high definition, definitively closing the standard definition version. From 14 September 2019 the channel becomes available on the DAZN platform.
