Sky Two

The original Sky 2 was a television channel launched by British Sky Broadcasting on 1 September 1996 as a sister channel to Sky One, and which formed part of an expanding bouquet of channels in Sky’s analogue package around this time, including The Computer Channel and Sky Scottish. Sky 2 broadcast from 7:00 PM to 6:00 AM nightly, timesharing with another new channel, Fox Kids (now Disney XD) in daytime. During the time Sky 2 was operating, Sky One was rebranded as ‘Sky 1’ (reverting to ‘Sky One’ again from 1997 until 2008.) Sky used the launch of the new channel and the rebrand of Sky 1 to introduce DOGs, on both channels. On 27th August 2020, Sky Two was closed down, and replaced by Sky Replay.
