BNT 2 (Bulgarian: БНТ 2, romanized: Be ne te dve) is a Bulgarian-language public television station, operated by Bulgarian National Television. It is the successor to the defunct second program of the national television - Efir 2.
Launched on October 16, 2011, the channel replaced the five regional television centers of BNT - BNT Pirin, BNT More, BNT Sever, BNT Plovdiv and BNT Sofia by combining their programs into one. Until 2018, BNT 2 broadcast original programs, newscasts and sporting events. The program includes a "regional programming bloc" with local opt-out broadcasts from BNT's regional television centers.
Since 2018, BNT 2 has ended its newscasts and is only currently mostly broadcasting cultural programs and programs produced by BNT's regional television centers (which includes local-based newscasts instead of sending local news production to be broadcast nationally).
History
[edit]The second program of the Bulgarian national television was founded in 1975 and discontinued transmission on May 31, 2000, being replaced by the private bTV the following day. Efir 2's most popular program was its weekly magazine show "Vsyaka Nedelya" (English: Every Sunday) and for broadcasting the Italian Serie A football games (which in fact were part of the same Sunday show).
At 21:10 on May 31, 2000, Efir 2 "said Good-bye!" to the Bulgarian viewers with a documental film, produced by Ekaterina Genova, called "Efir 2 - a photo for a memory" (Bulgarian: Ефир 2 - снимка за спомен). After the movie, Efir 2 broadcast its last news and sports reports, as well as its final commercial break, another movie, and Ricky Martin's "One night only". 40 minutes after midnight, Efir 2's signal was switched off, replaced by bTV the following morning.
