Debut of Europe 2 TV

Mark your calendars for 17 October, 17:17 hours on DTT channel 17.

 
Trademark originality

Something new in every field and genre…EUROPE 2 TV’s regularly scheduled, Monday-through-Sunday shows — Lundi Live, Mardi Déconne, Mercredi Sexy, Jeudi Fille, Vendredi SF, Samedi Manga and Dimanche Hit — epitomize constant change.

The channel is committed to change in every area.

No fewer than 100 original concerts have been produced, taped or exclusively broadcast, including Britney Spears, Eminem, Usher, Pascal Obispo, Kool Shen, etc.All musical genres are explored, through more than 3,000 different titles airing each year, over 80% of them new.

Ten variety or entertainment programs are currently on the drawing board or in production. EUROPE 2 TV’s enormous investment, which combines the know-how of its in-house teams and of independent producers, enables us to launch new, totally original concepts. In live with, Sexy or not, the election of the sexiest man and woman of the year, The Trabendo Sessions—the list goes on.

The same principle applies to comedy and drama. More than 10 original or exclusive series will be added in the early evening and/or prime time to the cult classic series airing during the day. The list includes the Les sauvages series produced by Mel Gibson, Berlin, Berlin, which won a prestigious Emmy Award in 2004, Nikki, Off Centre, Shasta, Total Recall 2070 and many others.

Animation will also be prominently featured. GTO, Chobits, Cobra, Beck and Da Mob during the day. And our new X-rated mangas – La fille du 20h, Le Retour de la Blue Girl – at night.

And, we’re proud to say, if you throw in our unmistakably original, stand-out station graphics, never has a DTT channel aired so much new programming.

I’d like to conclude by tipping my cap to EUROPE 2 TV staff and even more to the Lagardere Active Music Business Centre team, which turned EUROPE 2 TV’s dream of Digital Terrestrial Television into a reality. With them and everyone else interested in seeing something different and original on TV music shows, we invite you to tune in on 17 October, at 17:17 hours, to DTT channel 17. See for yourself just what “EUROPE 2 TV, it’s a killer…” is all about.
