Halogen TV was a localized version of the defunct American channel of the same name that aired feature-length films, documentaries, short films, and original reality programs that centered on making positive social changes and making the world a better place.
In December 2012, Halogen, along with the Documentary Channel, was acquired by Participant Media and re-branded as Pivot, a channel aimed at young adults between 18 and 34 years old. The combined channel debuted on August 1, 2013.[
