ITV2 is a British free-to-air television channel owned by ITV Digital Channels, a division of ITV plc.[1] It was launched on 7 December 1998. For a number of years, it had the largest audience share after the five analogue terrestrial stations, a claim now held by its sister service ITV3[2] both of which are freely available to a majority of households.

The channel is primarily aimed at the 16/18–34 age group, just like BBC Three, E4 and Sky Max and is known for American programming such as adult animations Family Guy, American Dad! and Bob's Burgers, repeats of recently aired episodes of soap operas and other entertainment programming from ITV such as Coronation Street and Emmerdale; 60-second entertainment news bulletin FYI Daily, which airs in-between films; and original programming such as Celebrity Juice and Love Island. In November 2021, the channel moved into the true-crime genre with Social Media Murders a three-part documentary series with a different case examined every night over three days.[3][4][5]
