TV 2 Charlie is a Danish television channel owned by TV 2. It was launched on 1 October 2004. The channel shows own productions and British criminal dramas (like Dalziel and Pascoe, A Touch of Frost and Silent Witness.) It broadcasts from 8:00 in the afternoon to 02:00 in the night, and is available by digital antenna (DVB-T/T2 & MPEG4), cable and satellite. In recent years programming airs almost continually, with only a short break in the deep hours of the night around 4:00. The channel is funded by usage fees and advertising. The commercials appear between the programmes only.
On satellite, TV 2 Charlie (as well as TV 2 Zulu and TV 2 Film) was initially exclusively available via Canal Digital. The competing Viasat platform started broadcasting the channels in January 2009.[1]
