RTI 2 is an Ivorian television channel. The channel targets a younger audience.

History

RTI 2 started broadcasting in November 1983. Unlike the existing RTI channel, its coverage area was limited to Abidjan and adjacent areas. [1] As Canal 2, the channel's transmitter covered a radius of 50km, with limited programming on Tuesdays and Fridays from 8:30pm. [2]

After broadcasting as an experimental service for several years, RTI reformatted the channel as TV2 on 1 November 1991, using the same transmitter as before. [3] The channel broadcast on VHF channel 10, expanding the reach to 150km and was defined by RTI as a "proximity channel for Abidjan". The channel's audience increased after the introduction of a new schedule in March 1997 (redeveloped in 1999). [4] The impulse for the creation of a regular second channel was given to Amadou Thiam, Félix Houphouët-Boigny's former ambassador of the Ivory Coast to Morocco. [3]

In the early 2000s, TV2 was an affiliate of the French service of TVAfrica, the continental television network that existed between 1998 and 2003. La Première was a sports affiliate. [5]

The channel was rebranded RTI 2 in 2011; in Easter 2014 it started broadcasting its over-the-air signal to Bouaké in the central area of the country, up until then the signal was limited to Abidjan. [1]
