Initially the channel was called RaiSat Extra. But in 18 May 2010, when Rai rebranded all its channels, the name RaiSat was extinguished, and the channel was renamed Rai Extra.

Closure
The broadcasts of Rai Extra ended after an episode of the sitcom Piloti on November 26, 2010 at 6:30 to make way for the new channel
Rai 5. From that moment on, the logo of Rai Extra began to alternate with that of
Rai 5 with a countdown at the bottom left that marked the start time of the transmissions of the new channel.
The contents of Rai Extra flowed partly into the
RaiPlay web portal and partly onto the
