Overview

Red TV is a Serbian pay television channel associated with Pink International Company and the wider Pink media business. The service originated on 4 November 2012 under the name Pink 2, establishing a dedicated television outlet within the Pink channel portfolio. On 3 October 2020, the channel was relaunched and began broadcasting under the Red TV name. The rebrand created a distinct identity for the service while retaining its position within Pink's broader television offering. The channel is distributed in Serbia as well as in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro. Its classification as a pay television service indicates that it is delivered through subscription or pay-TV distribution systems rather than operating solely as a conventional free-to-air broadcast channel. Public reference material identifies the channel primarily through its ownership, distribution footprint, launch history, and 2020 name change; detailed information about its programming schedule, audience metrics, management, financial performance, and technical distribution is not established in the supplied sources. Red TV should therefore be understood as a regional television-channel brand rather than as an independent diversified corporation. Its main business activity is the provision and distribution of television programming under the Red TV identity. The earlier Pink 2 name connects the service historically to Pink's channel architecture, while the 2020 transition marked the principal documented turning point in the brand's public identity. The channel remains associated with Pink International Company and serves viewers across several markets in the western Balkans.

History

Red TV's documented history begins with the launch of Pink 2 on 4 November 2012. The service was established as part of the television-channel portfolio associated with Pink International Company, a Serbian media operator. From its beginning, the channel was positioned as a pay television service, distinguishing it from channels whose principal distribution model is free-to-air broadcasting. The channel operated under the Pink 2 identity for several years. In that period, it formed part of Pink's broader regional television ecosystem, which serves audiences in Serbia and neighboring countries. The available reference material does not provide a detailed account of Pink 2's original programming, carriage agreements, audience share, or management structure, so those aspects cannot be described reliably here. A major documented change occurred on 3 October 2020, when Pink 2 began broadcasting as Red TV. This was a brand relaunch and identity change rather than the creation of an unrelated channel. The new name gave the service a separate Red TV identity while preserving its relationship with Pink International Company. The rebrand is the clearest publicly documented strategic milestone in the channel's history. Red TV is distributed in Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro. Its regional availability places it within the western Balkan pay-television market and gives the brand a footprint beyond its country of origin. The channel's public identity is consequently shaped by both its Serbian base and its cross-border distribution. The supplied sources identify Pink International Company as the owner, but do not establish a separate corporate structure, independent listing, founder, executive roster, or financial disclosures for Red TV itself. Based on the available material, Red TV remains an active channel brand. Its principal offering is the Red TV pay-television service, supported by the programming and distribution infrastructure of its owner. Further details about current programming formats, platform availability, ratings, advertising strategy, and recent corporate developments would require additional authoritative sources.

    Red TV

    Red TV is the channel's principal branded offering. It is a Serbian pay television service owned by Pink International Company and distributed in Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro. The service traces its origin to Pink 2, which launched in 2012, and adopted the Red TV identity in October 2020. The available reference material confirms its regional distribution and ownership but does not provide enough verified information to characterize specific current programs or formats.

  • Former channel identity · 2012

    Pink 2

    Pink 2 was the original name of the television service that later became Red TV. It began broadcasting on 4 November 2012 and remained the channel's identity until the service was relaunched as Red TV on 3 October 2020. Pink 2 is therefore a historical product identity rather than the current consumer-facing brand.
