NPO 2
NPO 2 (known as Nederland 2 [ˌneːdərlɑn ˈtʋeː] until 2014) is a Dutch television channel, the sister channel of NPO 1 and NPO 3. It was established on 1 October 1964 at 20:00, initially with a 2.5-hour schedule until 22:30.
NPO 2 tends to broadcast arts, culture, politics, news, current affairs, documentaries and religious programmes. In the mornings, NPO 2 simulcasts NPO 1's news bulletins with sign language.
The channel is also available on cable companies in its overseas dependencies in the Caribbean, either live or time-shifted.
Test transmissions started on 4 March 1964. These broadcasts were only received through the IJsselstein-Lopik transmitter. On 1 October 1964, the official broadcasts of Nederland 2 started and the first public broadcasting channel NTS was renamed into Nederland 1. In September 1967, colour broadcasts were introduced on Nederland 2.
After the launch of Nederland 3 in 1988, Nederland 2 became the mainstay channel of the broadcasters AVRO, TROS, VOO/Veronica and VPRO, earning it the nickname ATV. On 30 September 1991, AVRO moved to Nederland 1 whereas VARA moved to this channel. Another restructuring was made on 28 September 1992 when EO moved from Nederland 1 to Nederland 2 and in return, VARA and VPRO moved to Nederland 3. In 1995 VOO/Veronica split from the Netherlands Public Broadcasting to become a commercial channel; its final broadcast on 31 August was a documentary on its history.
Due to the success of RTL 4, by the early 90s, the channel had become a lossmaker; in November 1993, the channel announced the premiere of a soap opera to combat Goede tijden, slechte tijden, and contracted the same Dutch production company (JE Productions) to do it, with a tentative January 1994 launch date.
In 2000, TV2's name reverted to Nederland 2. Its new profile was the mass public, presenting large quantities of TROS, BNN and NOS programming and a small quantity of EO programming. The new line-up consisted of sports, events, entertainment and news of easy consumption for the wider audience.
On 16 September 2007 the NPO channels Nederland 1, Nederland 2, and Nederland 3 switched completely to anamorphic widescreen, before that time some of the programming was already broadcast in widescreen.
