CTV2

CTV2 is a Canadian English-language television system owned by Bell Media. It operates as the second conventional television service in Canada, complementing the main CTV network. The service is carried in multiple markets through a combination of owned-and-operated stations and independent affiliates, and in some regions via additional feeds on cable or satellite. CTV2 generally airs a mix of national CTV programming, Canadian and international series, sports, and locally produced news and public affairs content.

History and branding notes indicate that the CTV2 brand was introduced in the early 2010s as part of Bell Media’s restructuring of its networks. The transition involved rebranding several former A-Channel stations or related services to CTV2 in many markets, with some stations maintaining local branding or transitioning to the CTV2 identity over time. This strategy aimed to extend CTV programming into additional markets while preserving locally produced content at the station level.

Programming on CTV2 varies by market but typically includes a combination of national network offerings from CTV, syndicated or acquired series, and locally produced newscasts or public affairs programs. The exact lineup can differ between regions, reflecting local scheduling decisions and affiliate arrangements. In all cases, CTV2 sits alongside the main CTV network as part of Bell Media’s portfolio of television services.
