History
In 1979, VÉRT TV2 was launched. It was intended to air international programming to Weef audiences, while its sister, VÉRT TV, was to air local programs. At first, it was unsuccessful, but ratings skyrocketed on October 1979 after airing.

In 1980, VÉRT TV2 was renamed to VÉRT 2. The channel surpassed Prisma TV in the mid-80s as the most popular Weef channel, when Prisma's ratings declined. VÉRT 2 started airing news programming in 1988.

VÉRT 2 was the first channel in Weefistan to broadcast the Baháʼí prayer in 1990, prior to that, religious programming was prohibited to preserve secularism. In 1995, when Prisma TV was shut down, most of its programming were moved here, while the rest was reserved to the newly created Independiaýi.

In 2003, VÉRT 2 refreshed its look, and started to mostly air news programming. In 2011, the channel was renamed to VÉRT TV Dünija and was fully converted to a news channel.
