"ICTV2" ("International Commercial Television and Radio Company") is a Ukrainian TV channel, part of the Starlight Media group. It launched in December 2022, replacing ICTV Ukraine [uk], which had been an internationally oriented service.
On December 15, 2022, the National Council of Television and Radio Broadcasting of Ukraine [uk] reissued the license for ICTV Ukraine [uk], which had been an international channel with programs from ICTV until February 2022, when it began broadcasting the United News service on a non-stop basis. The new license changed the service's name to ICTV2 and shifted its content to series, shows and full-length films.[1][2] Rebranding took place on December 17.[3]
On December 22 of the same year, the National Council issued a temporary permission for the broadcasting of "ICTV2" during the period of martial law in Ukraine for broadcasting in the multiplex MX-2 of the digital broadcast network DVB-T2.[4] The channel started broadcasting on the network the next day, December 23.
