Ch 2
2016-2017
In 2nd February, 2016, Ch 2 was launched with a unique and sometimes amazing prorgramme offer. For more than 7 months the second commercial channel scheduled a quite innovative and mixture of the best of international and El Kadsreian fiction series and movies, youth programs, live sport coverage, larded with often English news, culture, current affairs programmes and talk shows. The audience however did not follow the project, and the channel's market shares stayed far below the projected 7%. After a few months the advertisers withdrew support for the channel, which led the VTVEN shareholders to expert pressure on the central programming staff to change strategy.
The logo was based on Kanaal 2 (now Q2 Belgium) logo used from 1995.
On 1st Decemeber, 2016, Ch 2 began broadcasting 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
Channel 2
2017-present
In August 2016, a various Channel 2 Vicnora idents were filmed in El Kadsre.
On 11th December, 2016, a new set of Channel 2 Vicnora logos were revealed, the station was rejuvenated. Their image is changed through a new logo ("Channel" in block letters with a bold two on a yellow background) and leaving more arts programming moved to VBC.
When Channel 2 Vicnora decided to refresh its on-air imagery for 2017, we considered hundreds of songs that encapsulated the spirit of the channel: vibrancy, freedom and a sense of playfulness.
We chose I'm Free (originally written by The Rolling Stones in 1965), getting permission from Mick Jagger and Keith Richards to re-record the song for modern Vicnoran audiences.
The track was performed by El Kadsreian-Australian singers AshleyDee for the new logo brand films that will be seen on the channel from January 2017. Now, fans of the song are able to Spotify, iTunes and Google Play from December 2016.
All profits from the recording will be donated to a charitable organisation in Tugaganda called chart.
The music community has been has been hit particularly hard by the October 2016 Tugaganda hurricane, also known as "Hurricane Jodocus"; with live performance venues, clubs and pubs destroyed, equipment and gear trapped inside condemned buildings and recording studios and rehearsal spaces demolished. An important voice and vital form of expression, part of what makes Tugaganda unique, is missing.
Chart is an organisation which aims to bring the music back to the troubled city.
At the end of 2nd January, 2017, Ch 2 is rebranded into Channel 2. It looked very familiar to the general audience, with a strong popular and entertainment-based programme offer. It introduced a new look graphics package with a new theme song for the network.

Idents package
- Startup (2.2.2016-1.12.2016): An even more different version of the logo was used when the channel starts up. It consists of various sequences, including flying patterns such as ribbons and bubbles, parts of the logo being painted by color splashes, color-changing lights and fire approaching the camera from a vent, before the sequence from the beginning of the normal logo plays, along with a few close-up's off the 2 with some flashes in random positions. This time the red square with a yellow "2" then zooms out, and we see a yellow square with a red "Ch" while the red square places. Fire is seen behind the red square once it finishes placing.

- Vlokozu Day (11.11.2016): The Vlokozu flag is a flat disk which starts the sequence side-on, rotating 90 degrees along its vertical axis, until it faces camera. As this happens, coloured powder "blows" on to the disk, finally forming the image on the left.
