TV 2 Sport (formerly TV 2 Sport and TV2 Sportskanalen), currently stylized as TV 2 Sport 1 and TV 2 Sport 2, is a Norwegian channel, formerly Pay-TV, that shows sports. The channel is spread out over 2 different channels, named TV 2 Sport 1 and TV 2 Sport 2, earlier TV2 Sport 1-5. It heavily features football, including broadcasting of the Norwegian top division for several years. This channel also broadcasts international matches, such as the Premier League. It also broadcast four 2010 World Cup matches.
History
The channel was launched on 24 March 2007 from Canal Digital, Get, Lyse and BKK.[1] In the autumn, it launched on the terrestrial RiksTV. From 22 March 2009 the channel will also be available from the Viasat satellite platform.[2]
The channel is a premium pay channel with a relatively high price (159 NOK per month, as of 2009). In addition to the main channel, it also offered four extra channels, TV 2 Sport 2, TV 2 Sport 3, TV 2 Sport 4 and TV 2 Sport 5, which allowed them to broadcast five matches at once. The extra channels were, however, not available terrestrially.
On 11 June 2010, TV 2 launched TV 2 Sport Premium (previously TV 2 Barclays Premier League HD), which contains two sport channels. TV 2 Sport Premium Broadcasts live matches from Premier League, the FA Cup, Scottish Premiership, Allsvenskan and SHL.[3]
In 2012 the channel was rebranded to a 24 hours sports channel named TV 2 Sportskanalen. In 2013 the resolution was changed from SD to HD. In 2018, Sportskanalen changed its name to TV 2 Sport 2, the other channel name is TV 2 Sport 1.
