Lime TV (formerly WISDOM Television) was an American digital cable and satellite television network devoted to healthy living, wellness, and environmental sustainability. Founded in 1999 by William Turner as part of the Wisdom Media Group, the network featured programs on alternative medicine, yoga, meditation, nutrition, and personal growth. It was later acquired in 2005 by AOL co-founder Steve Case through his company Revolution LLC and rebranded as Lime TV. The channel ceased traditional broadcasting in February 2007 and transitioned into an online and satellite radio platform under the Lime brand. In 2007, Lime was acquired by Gaiam, a wellness media company.

Lime TV, formerly known as WISDOM Television, is now defunct as a traditional television network and has instead focused and expanded into new digital media. The current Lime online website offers information and entertainment centered on physical and mental health with a soft focus on organic ingredients, whole foods consumption, mental conditioning through meditation and yoga, and physical fitness. Up until February 2007, Lime's programming was available on certain digital cable and satellite systems (primarily DISH and Comcast Digital). Now, it is available only over the Internet, mobile web, and satellite radio, with a small sampling of Video on Demand features on some cable systems. Like many production companies and internet ventures, Lime also produces several DVD titles. Themes include the Lime Simple Steps. Lime's main slogan is: "Healthy Living with a Twist".
