TV 2 Film is a 24-hour two star movie channel owned by TV 2.

It was launched on November 1, 2005 at 9 p.m. First to air was Danish feature film The Green Butchers.

The channel mostly shows American two star movies. Each movie is shown many times over the course of several days.

In August 2008, the channel started broadcasting in the widescreen format. This was followed by the launch of a high-definition simulcast of the channel on January 1, 2009.

The channel was developed from a film strand on TV 2 called "en go' film uden afbrydelser" ("A good movie without interruptions"). Initially, the channel carried advertising between the movies, but this practise was discontinued in 2007 as the ad sales had remained modest.


On satellite, TV 2 Film (as well as TV 2 Charlie and TV 2 Film) was initially exclusively available via Canal Digital. The competing Viasat platform started broadcasting the channels in January 2009.[2]
