History

[edit]

The channel started broadcasting on October 1, 1993, the first program seen on the new network being the Estonian animated film Kapsapea (Cabbage Head).[4] The channel in its initial phase broadcast on weekends, beginning December 17 that year, week-round broadcasts started.

On 1 August 2017, Kanal 2 left the free-to-air market and became encrypted. The decision was taken on the basis of optimizing its management based around local programming, as well as due to rising advertising costs.[5]
