BITE TV is a Canadian English language category 2 digital cable specialty channel. BITE TV broadcasts Canadian and international short form film, videography, animation, games, and professional and amateur production that mainly target men ages 18 - 34. BITE is an interactive television channel that delivers on-air interaction, online participation, wireless downloading and PC or mobile chat-to-screen directly on the television.

BITE has a working relation with Stomp Records, Network Ireland and MavTV in the United States. As well, in 2007, BITE signed a deal with Joost, agreeing to provide content to the online TV service.

Channel

BITE's programming is done day-to-day, assuring that every day entails different programming. The channel utilizes a smaller viewing screen, and has ads for their sponsor, and other programming on the right hand side. There's a status bar right below the screen to let the viewer know how much time is left in the current video that they're watching. Below the status bar is The Crawl, which contains pointless facts, weird laws, updates on programming, and the PC Chat 2 Screen function. At the top of the channel is a listing that lets the viewer know what's upcoming on the channel.

PC Chat 2 Screen

PC Chat 2 Screen is a function created by BITE that lets the viewer interact with the channel and other viewers by letting them have their say on the channel within minutes of typing it. The viewer types in their message and it appears on the crawl.

The downside of this, is many times people spam the Crawl with website URLs, most of them leading to various pornography sites, leading to the crawl & PC Chat 2 Screen being manually shut down for the rest of the night.

BITE is slowly trying to fix the problem by adding lists of words to automatically be banned from entering the Crawl through the PC Chat 2 Screen function.
