2sTV is the second television channel of Senegal.

It is owned 100% by El hadji Ibrahima Ndiaye, the administrator of the channel.

Beginnings

In 2003, the first programmes were shown on the UHF23 channel. The station was at first a partnership between the historic television channel of Senegal, Radiodiffusion Télévision Sénégalaise (RTS) and a private group, "Origine SA". The channel was named: RTS2S.

Development

The channel showed its independence with a new name: 2sTV. The programmes it showed were more focused on culture, freer, and newer.

It is possible to view 2stv throughout the world via satellite.

Programmes

Mainly, cultural programmes, interviews with local music and other artistic stars, and talkshows. These programmes are mainly in Wolof. The interviews are translated into French, as Senegal is Francophone. However, sometimes a show in Pulaar is included on the schedules. "Yella" - is presented every Sunday at 14h00 (local time) by the Halpulaar personality Farba Sally Seck. It deals with the history of Fouta (a region in the north-east of Senegal) and of the Fulas, accompanied by a "bammbaado" (a "hoddu" or "xalam" player) and a famous personality from Boundou (south-east of Senegal) who, with his two sons, sings the "yeela" songs, on the theme, or the local history.

STV (TV channel)

STV previously known as Scottish Television, is a television channel in Scotland. It operates the two ITV licensees in northern and central Scotland, formerly known as Grampian Television (now legally STV North) and Scottish Television (now legally STV Central). The brand was adopted on Tuesday 30 May 2006 replacing both franchises' identities. In 2013, STV won licences to launch local TV channels in Glasgow and Edinburgh. STV Glasgow launched on 2 June 2014, with STV Edinburgh following on 12 January 2015.

Programming

The two licences still produce regional programmes, although the only difference between them is the respective news programmes: STV News at Six and STV News broadcast separate bulletins to Northern Scotland (including an opt-out for the Tayside area), Glasgow & West Central Scotland, and Edinburgh & East Central Scotland. There is no STV South as Southern Scotland is part of the ITV Border region (Border being owned by ITV plc) and programmes are presented there under the ITV Border brand.
