# KTV2

Kuwait television channel 2 (KTV2) is Kuwait's governmental television channel dedicated for the English-speaking public. The channel broadcasts English-speaking shows, local programmes, news, English-subtitled local serials, English-speaking international serials, and English-speaking or English-subtitled movies. Kuwait television started its broadcast on November 15, 1961; as the official television of the ministry of information of the state of Kuwait. There are so far five channels: channel 1 (Al-Oula, KTV1), used for Arabic programming; channel 2 (KTV2); channel 3 (KTV3 or sport), for purely sports programming; channel 4 (KTV4), for pre-recorded and re-runs of movies and serials from other channels; and channel 5 (KTV-Plus), Kuwait's official governmental satellite broadcast, currently merged with KTV1. The Kuwait Ministry of Information has an online feed of three of its channels.
The station started broadcasting in December 1978. The channel was initially cultural in nature, broadcasting educational and cultural programming, award-winning movies, plays in classical Arabic and discussion of theses. The goal of the service was to be a "people's university", targeting the educated sectors of Kuwait's population.
Ahead of the launch of the channel, KTV did a survey to ascertain what would viewers see on the new service, the majority of which came from the middle class. During its first month on air, 72% of the content on KTV2 was foreign, in contrast to 18% on KTV1.
