La 2 (Spain)

La 2 (also called "La Dos", or "TVE2") (literally, The Two) is Spain's second state-owned television channel for the public broadcasting service. Its first broadcast was on 15 November 1966. Unlike sister channel TVE1 ("La Uno"), it is not an overly populist channel, and rather like BBC Two in the UK is famous for a more "intellectual" style of programming (often popular with university students) featuring wildlife and cultural documentaries, classic films from home and abroad, more "alternative" American TV series – Will & Grace, Six Feet Under, Veronica Mars etc. – investigative reporting and the two semi-finals of the Eurovision Song Contest.

However, TVE2 has a very low audience rating, the lowest among nationwide TV channels. From 1 January 2010, all TVE channels no longer show commercials during and between programmes, because of the new Government's law which removed all kinds of advertising from all TVE channels.

RSI La 2

RSI La 2 is a Swiss public television channel owned by Radiotelevisione Svizzera di lingua Italiana. It's a sister channel of RSI La 1, broadcast in Italian. It mainly transmits sport programmes, but also reruns and music programmes. It does not broadcast any newscast.

History

TSI launched its second channel in 1997, basing it on programming for a younger audience and sports. Unlike RSI La 1, RSI La 2 is not broadcast in the whole Switzerland, but only in the Italian-speaking Switzerland.

The channel interrupted analogue broadcasts on 24 July 2006, from that date being available only on digital terrestrial television, satellite and cable. It was the first channel of the SRG SSR network to make the transition.

Australian rules football in Europe

Australian rules football is played in Europe at an amateur level in a large number of countries. The oldest and largest leagues are those in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Denmark, each nation having a number of clubs, organised junior programs and women's football. The British AFL has now dramatically expanded into the Welsh, Scottish and English leagues. The Danish AFL has been responsible for the expansion of Australian Football into Sweden, Finland, Iceland and Norway. The governing body for Australian Football in Europe was founded in Frankfurt in January 2010; the body was initially called the European Australian Football Association, but changed its name to AFL Europe at a general assembly meeting in Milan in October of the same year. It currently has 19 member nations. AFL Europe, with backing of the AFL in Australia has overseen a large improvement in the organisation of Australian football in Europe.

The sport has grown from a few clubs and leagues started mainly by expatriate Australians and returning nationals in the late 1980s and early 1990s, to now having established leagues in over 15 nations, with the majority of players being non-Australian.
