BRT 2

BRT 2 (Bayrak Radyo Televizyon 2) is the second television channel of Bayrak Radyo Televizyon Kurumu (BRTK), the public broadcaster of Northern Cyprus. It operates as a generalist channel, offering a mix of news, entertainment, culture, and sports programming. The channel broadcasts in both Turkish and English, reflecting the bilingual context of the Turkish-Cypriot community and its international audience. Distribution is multi-platform: terrestrial network, satellite via Türksat, and live streaming on the web. BRT 2 is part of the Bayrak group, which also includes BRT 1 and various radio stations. The channel's official website is brtk.net, and it maintains a presence on YouTube. The Republic of Cyprus, the internationally recognized government of the island, considers BRT 2 a pirate television station; this position is highlighted with an on-screen message whenever BRT 2 footage is used as a news source. Despite this political dispute, BRT 2 continues to operate as a key media outlet for Northern Cyprus.

BRT 2 is the second television channel of Bayrak Radyo Televizyon Kurumu (BRTK), the state-owned public broadcaster of Northern Cyprus. BRTK was established to serve the Turkish-Cypriot community, and BRT 2 was launched as a complementary generalist channel to BRT 1. The channel broadcasts in Turkish and English, aiming to reach both local audiences and international viewers. Over the years, BRT 2 has expanded its distribution to include terrestrial, satellite (via Türksat), and online platforms. The channel operates under the Bayrak brand, which encompasses multiple radio and television services. The Republic of Cyprus does not recognize BRTK's legitimacy and considers BRT 2 a pirate station, a stance that has led to on-screen disclaimers when BRT 2 content is used by other media. Despite political non-recognition, BRT 2 remains an active source of news and entertainment for Northern Cyprus.
