HRT 2
television channel
HRT 2 (HTV 2, "Drugi program") is a Croatian free-to-air public broadcast television channel owned and operated by Hrvatska Radiotelevizija (HRT). Its line-up focuses mainly on entertainment, although it also broadcasts news and documentaries. The channel started 24-hour broadcasts on 14 January 2011.
A new broadcast of HRT 2, HRT 2 No Latency was launched on 20 November 2022, available only on the HRTi streaming service, following the opening of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The channel was closed down at the end of the World Cup. HRT 2 Low Latency aired the same programs as HRT 2, without the ability to pause and rewind.
Local programming
When it comes to local programming, HRT 2 mostly airs re-runs of television programs previously broadcast by HRT 1. The channel does, however, offer a number of small-scale production television series, such as those oriented at entertainment and lifestyle.
Acquired programming
Unlike HRT 1 which puts a greater focus on local programming, HRT 2 offers a larger chunk of television series acquired from foreign television networks. These are largery British television series, often acquired from BBC.
Current programming
Currently, the channel airs a vast array of non-scripted documentary and lifestyle television series in the morning and during the day.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “HRT 2” as television channel. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as television channel. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1264115. The first chronological checks are 2011 and 2022.
Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
