TVP2 (TVP Dwa, Program II Telewizji Polskiej, "Dwójka") is a Polish public mainstream TV channel operated by TVP. Launched in October 1970, its varied line-up contains a variety of programming (documentary, history, talk-shows, game-shows) although it focuses on entertainment: stand up comedy, comic shows, cabaret, and themed talk shows (for example on travel or foreign cultures).

History

On October 2, 1970, when the second program of Telewizja Polska was broadcast, the chairman of the Radio Committee, Włodzimierz Sokorski, announced during a ceremonial speech that the launch of the new program was an expression of "concern for the nation's education and culture". The channel was initially an educational network that broadcast mainly science and education programs, including language learning; that is why "Dwójka" also broadcast foreign films in the original version in slots such as Kino wersji oryginalnej (Movies in their original version) or the slightly later Kino poliglotów (Films for Polyglots). It was intended to promote the achievements of theater, film and good entertainment.

The network also broadcast program blocks devoted to the countries of "people's democracy", such as Czechoslovakia Day on TP, Yugoslavia Day on TVP, where documentaries and fictional films as well as entertainment programs from these countries were broadcast, but some Western countries were also presented (such as French Day on TVP, Austrian Day on TVP).

After the final abolition of martial law in 1983 and the return to regular broadcasting, the concept of the network began to be implemented as a channel with its own, clearer face, which could significantly diversify the programming offer. At the beginning, the focus was mainly on documentary series about outstanding artists, in particular about writers (the Great Writers series), travel series and series devoted to the masterpieces of cinematography, both included in author's series (such as films by Woody Allen, Ingmar Bergman) and in series thematic (such as Latin American Cinema).

When Zbigniew Napierała became the director of the network, more classical music programs appeared on the air, which then took up as much as 11% of airtime. The channel gained a new "face" when Józef Węgrzyn became the director, who decided to introduce more entertainment and journalistic programs (his idea was, among others, Panorama dnia), an original announcer studio and a completely new team of announcers - presenters. At that time, they made their debut in Dwójka, among others Iwona Kubicz, Jolanta Fajkowska or Grażyna Torbicka. More and more interesting programs were broadcast, and the films were always presented in such a way that their broadcasting time did not coincide with the films on TP1.

Nowadays, TVP2 is a television channel with a very diverse line-up, however, despite the programming diversity, in recent years, the network was dominated by entertainment, but the line-up also includes various cultural programs.
