Kanal 2 is a privately owned Estonian television channel. Its literal name in English is "Channel 2".

History

The channel was established by Ilmar Taska. The channel started broadcasting on 1 October 1993, the first program seen on the new network being the Estonian animated film Kapsapea (Cabbage Head). The channel in its initial phase broadcast on weekends, beginning 17 December 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.
