[edit] History
ČST2 launched on 10 May 1970 and was broadcast throughout Czechoslovakia in 1970. In 1973 the channel changed from black-and-white to colour.
Following the entry of federalism in Czechoslovakia in 1990, ČST2 was split into ČTV in Czech Republic, S1 in Slovak Republic. the two channels began broadcasting only to the Czech and Slovakia.
On 1 January 1993, ČTV changed its name to ČT2, now the second channel of the new Česká televize, created one year earlier following the Velvet Revolution.
