Spíler2 TV

Spíler2 TV is a Hungarian television channel operated by the TV2 Csoport, launched on 11 August 2018. It is the second channel to carry the Spíler brand, following the original Spíler TV, which was renamed Spíler1 TV on 1 March 2018 ahead of the new channel's debut. The channel is aimed at a male audience and focuses on sports, documentaries and entertainment programming. The channel's launch was preceded by a period of brand preparation. The name TV2 Sport 2 was registered with the Hungarian Intellectual Property Office on 12 May 2016, but the planned name was later dropped, reportedly because of its similarity to the Sport 2 channel operated by AMC Global Media. The Spíler2 TV logo was registered on 14 February 2018. In late July 2018, it was announced that the channel would begin broadcasting on 11 August 2018. The first broadcast took place that day at 6:15 a.m. with LaLiga matches. Before its launch, the channel came under Romanian media jurisdiction and received its broadcasting licence from the Romanian National Audiovisual Council (CNA). Spíler2 TV's programming is built around live football. Its rights have included LaLiga first and second division matches from 2018, the UEFA Nations League from 2022, FIFA World Cup qualifiers from 2022, UEFA European Championship qualifiers from 2022, and the French Football Cup from 2023. The schedule also features documentaries and entertainment shows. Since 16 March 2022, catch-up viewing of the channel's programmes and use of its website have been available exclusively with a TV2 Play Prémium subscription. In December 2022, the name TV2 Sport+ was registered with the Hungarian Intellectual Property Office, followed by the associated logo on 12 January 2023. The planned renaming was later abandoned, and the channel instead underwent a logo and visual identity change together with its sister channel. In May 2023, it was announced that the Spíler channels would receive a new logo and branding. The change was originally planned for 1 September 2023 but took place three days later, on 4 September 2023. The channel's advertising time is sold by Atmedia. Its editorial team has included editor-in-chief Zoltán Hetthéssy, commentators and presenters such as Krisztián Matuz and Domokos Bognár, and a range of commentators, editors, presenters and experts.

Spíler2 TV is a Hungarian television channel that forms part of the TV2 Csoport's portfolio. Its origins lie in the group's earlier sports-channel planning. On 12 May 2016, the name TV2 Sport 2 was registered with the Hungarian Intellectual Property Office (Szellemi Tulajdon Nemzeti Hivatala), but the planned channel name was later abandoned, reportedly because it was too similar to the Sport 2 channel operated by AMC Global Media. On 14 February 2018, the logo for the future channel was registered with the Hungarian Intellectual Property Office. On 1 March 2018, the existing Spíler TV was renamed Spíler1 TV, a move that already suggested a second Spíler-branded channel was in preparation. In late July 2018, it was announced that the new channel would begin broadcasting on 11 August 2018. The logo for a further channel, Spíler3 TV, was also registered, but that planned launch was later abandoned. The first broadcast of Spíler2 TV took place on 11 August 2018 at 6:15 a.m., with LaLiga matches. Before its launch, the channel came under Romanian media jurisdiction and therefore received its broadcasting licence from the Romanian National Audiovisual Council (CNA). Over the following years, the channel built its schedule around live football. Its rights included LaLiga first and second division matches from 2018, the UEFA Nations League from 2022, FIFA World Cup qualifiers from 2022, UEFA European Championship qualifiers from 2022, and the French Football Cup from 2023. Documentaries and entertainment programmes also feature in its programming. On 16 March 2022, catch-up viewing of the channel's programmes and use of its website became available exclusively with a TV2 Play Prémium subscription. On 14 December 2022, the name TV2 Sport+ was registered with the Hungarian Intellectual Property Office, and the associated logo followed on 12 January 2023. The planned renaming was later abandoned, so the channel instead underwent only a logo and visual identity change, together with its sister channel. In May 2023, it was announced that the Spíler channels would receive a new logo and branding. The change was originally planned for 1 September 2023, but ultimately took place three days later, on 4 September 2023. The channel's advertising time is sold by Atmedia.
