Gala TV used to have a very classic approch to the channel with hardly any presenter and viewer interaction until February 2007 where they re-branded to bring a more modern approch to the channel.
One interesting point is that financial prizes are never mentioned on air. The presenter might say for example "this game is worth five hundred" but without mentioning a currency. This is a common trend amongst all UK gaming TV channels and presumably is due to a gambling regulation preventing the actual discussion of financial rewards.
It was announced on Halloween that Gala TV were to move their live hours on the 6th November to 6pm through to 2am daily.
It has also been announced several times on the live show that there are changes in store for the website. Currently it allows players to check their balance and withdraw or deposit funds but the new website will allow people to play Gala TV online 24 hours a day.
