DR2 online - Television live
DR2 Live Stream
DR2 is DR's second television channel - the Danish public broadcaster's outlet for news, debate and the programmes that do not fit the mainstream, launched in 1996 as the younger, more experimental sibling of DR1.
A 2013 relaunch sharpened its profile into topical, news-oriented programming: hourly news updates, the flagship debate and analysis of Deadline, documentaries, social reporting and global current affairs.
The Public Service Alternative
DR2's role in the DR portfolio is depth - the place for long-form journalism, political discussion and documentary storytelling, where complex issues get the time commercial schedules never give them. Its hosts and debate formats have made it one of Danish television's key forums for the conversation about where the country is heading.
A Second Channel with History
When DR2 went on air in 1996, it ended DR1's four-decade monopoly of Danish public television and gave the broadcaster room to experiment. The channel's history runs from the alternative spirit of the nineties to today's focused news-and-debate identity, with its signal available through DRTV's streaming service.
