U8TV: The Lofters was a Canadian reality television series, which aired on the Life Network and online through its website U8TV. com, in 2001 and 2002.

The show followed the lives of eight young Canadians who lived together in a Toronto loft for a one-year period, while at the same time producing and hosting their own television programs for Life Network or other cable TV networks, and for the website U8TV. com.

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission approved a licence for a U8TV Category 2 digital television channel in 2000, although the channel was never ultimately launched.

Some of the online shows or TV shows produced by the Lofters included Fuel, So Gay TV, Male Box, Spin the Bottle, Love Shack, Money Shot, U8 on Film and House Party.
