Eurosport launches second channel
A sister television channel to accompany the well-established Eurosport cable and digital sports network will launch across the continent next week.
Eurosport 2 will begin broadcasting on 10 January and will feature additional live programming of events, including motorsport, tennis, winter sports and football, to work alongside the existing channel.

Initially the channel will be broadcast in four languages – English, Polish, Turkish and Greek – across 35 countries, including the UK.
Laurent-Eric Le Lay, Eurosport managing director of broadcast, said: "The launch of Eurosport 2 will provide additional broadcasts of Eurosport's premier TV rights so that viewers have a wider offer on both channels.
“Eurosport 2 will therefore benefit from Eurosport's strong rights portfolio and will transmit other live events, which take place at the same time as those broadcast on Eurosport.”
