History

RTÉ Two ( I)

It was in the 1970s a lot of debate about whether the then planned second Irish television by the BBC or RTÉ should be produced, we chose the latter. The station was launched on 2 November 1978 as RTÉ Two. He was celebrated with a grand opening gala in Cork. At the beginning was sent only in the evening and many broadcasts of the BBC and ITV have been taken. The sender was thus not particularly successful.

Network 2

The program was established in 1988 renamed Network 2, and he got a more contemporary logo. The broadcast schedule was brought forward to 14:30 clock. Even then, children's programs were sent in the afternoon. Saturday afternoon sports broadcasts and broadcasts were transmitted in Gaelic in the first place. Also were added late news. The reboot was a success and was called the station mid-1990s in RTÉ Network Two to. Finally, they took the transmission mode on in the morning, at which time most educational television has been sent. In addition, there have been attempts to place a Late Night Show on Irish television.

Since there are no regular sports programs at RTÉ more.
