MTV Two
MTV Two (formerly MTV2 MTV2 Europe or UK) was the European branch of the U.S. music channel MTV 2, which was first launched in September 2001 as MTV2 UK and was determined by the setting of the German MTV offshoot MTV2 Pop renamed MTV2 Europe 2005. As part of a design unification of the British MTV station on 22 July 2007 MTV2 Europe was renamed analogous to MTV MTV One in Two.
