History

Rai Gulp began broadcasting on 1 June 2007 as a replacement for Rai Doc and Rai Futura, the latter two were closed shortly before its launch.

Since RaiSat Smash Girls ended broadcasting in 2009, some programmes broadcast on that channel have been present in the channel's schedule.

From 27 April 2010, the programming of the channel has been coordinated by the Rai Ragazzi structure.

In the Autumn of 2010, the channel slightly changed their onscreen branding and idents, (for example, promos and bumpers) and changed its target audience to the 8-14 age range. New cartoons, live-action TV series, and other shows were added.

Since 1 January 2011, the official speaker of Rai Gulp is the voice actor Emanuele Ruzza.

On 31 July 2014, the channel began broadcasting new episodes of the Italian-American animated series Winx Club, previously shown on Rai 2. However, starting from April 15, 2019, Rai Gulp only airs reruns of the show, with new episodes now being shown on its sister channel Rai Yoyo.

Since 13 December 2016, the channel has been broadcasting older cartoons with 4:3 format in the 16:9 pillar-box panoramic format, as well as Rai Yoyo, as well as all the other Rai digital terrestrial channels.

Since 4 January 2017, the channel has been visible in high definition on Tivùsat.

On 10 April 2017, the channel renews its logo and graphics at the same time as the other Rai channels.

On 14 April 2017, Luca Milano replaced Massimo Liofredi as head of Rai Gulp and Rai Yoyo.

From July 2020 onward, Rai Gulp no longer has its own website but is visible in streaming on RaiPlay.

From December 2021, the SD version closed on Tivùsat, so the HD version is now FTA

On 7 May 2025, Rai Gulp will be replaced by the return of Disney Channel in Italy.
