BBC Twoとは 意味・読み方・使い方

BBC Two is the second television channel of the BBC. It covers a wide range of subject matter, but tending towards more 'highbrow' programmes than the more mainstream and popular BBC One. Like the BBC's other domestic TV and radio channels, it is commercial-free and yet remains a comparatively well funded public service network, regularly attaining a much higher audience share than most current public service networks worldwide. It was the second British television station to be launched by the BBC (starting on 20 April 1964 based in London), and Europe's first television channel to broadcast regularly in colour, from 1 July 1967, envisaged as a home for less mainstream and more ambitious programming. This tendency has continued to date, though most special-interest programmes of a kind previously broadcast on BBC Two (e.g. BBC Proms concerts) now tend to appear on BBC Four instead.
