RLTV (previously known as Retirement Living TV) was an American cable television network.

Launched on September 5, 2006, the channel targeted a demographic aged 50 years and older. Its topics and programs included health and wellness, finance, travel, lifestyle, reinvention, as well as scripted comedy and drama in its cable era. The network is owned by Retirement Living TV, LLC and is based in Baltimore.[1] At its peak, RLTV was available in 29 million homes in the US.[2]

In October 2017, The E. W. Scripps Company purchased RLTV's carriage contracts and replaced RLTV with Newsy.[3]
