Closure
The broadcasts of Rai Extra ended after an episode of the sitcom Piloti on November 26, 2010, at 6:30 PM 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 Rai Premium television station.
