TVR 2 (Romanian pronunciation: [ˌtevere ˈdoj], spelled out as Televiziunea Română 2, "Romanian Television 2") is the second channel of the public broadcaster TVR.
The channel was launched on 2 May 1968, but it was suspended from 20 January 1985, until 19 February 1990. From 2003, it has been a market leader in Romania with some very well thought television shows, such as Tonomatul DP2 and the British television series Doctor Who, but since 2015, it has been a general arts and culture channel. TVR 2 launched an HD simulcast on 3 November 2019, alongside the Romanian Television's flagship channel, TVR 1.
