RTV 2 is the second channel of Radio Television of Vojvodina, the public broadcaster of Serbia's northern province, based in Novi Sad. Where the first channel carries the main grid, the second gives room to the province's minority languages.

Six languages, extended broadcasts

RTV 2 carries programming in Hungarian, Slovak, Croatian, Romanian, Rusyn and Romani, alongside the documentaries, cultural programmes, music and educational content a generalist schedule cannot fit. The editions are longer and less news-driven than the main channel's, which is what a minority-language service needs: time.

Ruski Krstur and Kovačica

In Ruski Krstur, the cultural centre of the Rusyn community, local news is read in Rusyn; in Kovačica, a Slovak village known for its naive painters, in Slovak; in the Romanian villages of the Banat, in Romanian. For those communities the channel is often the only television in their own language.

Public service in the strict sense

A broadcaster serving several small language communities at once is expensive per viewer and difficult to justify commercially, which is precisely why it falls to a public institution. Serbia's law on public broadcasting requires minority programming, and Vojvodina's service is where most of it is produced.

From Radio Novi Sad

Radio Television of Vojvodina traces its roots to Radio Novi Sad, on air since 1949, and took its present form in 2006. RTV 2 broadcasts from Novi Sad and shares its newsroom, archive and transmitters with the first channel.
