Spark2 (Euro Republics)

Spark 2 is a Euro Republican television channel owned by EuroMedia as a sister channel to Spark. The channel began broadcasting in March 1996. The channel offers a separate schedule of programming, movies and sports aimed towards a male 16-30 age demographic.

History
Spark Two! launched on March 1st, 1996 as a Spark sister channel, and was conceived as one of the additional channels available on ET1 Digital, which launched on the same day as Spark 2. The channel used a logo and presentation design similar to that used by Spark at the time, but with a lighter background than the dark dim look of the main channel.

Spark Two relaunched as Spark² on Monday 2nd February 1998 to target a young male audience. The channel focused itself towards action, adventure, anime, animation, thriller, horror and "after dark" erotic content. On the same day, Nick Jr. launched on the channel during daytime hours. The channel's idents during this period were intentionally designed to unsettle and scare, leading to the television presentation website idents.er dubbing them "Euroish television's most frightening idents".

Spark² adopted the revised branding of Spark 2 on Monday 5th March 2001. Spark 2 switched to 24-hour broadcasting on Monday 3rd January 2005, alongside it's timeshare partner Nick Jr.

On 31 August 2005, the channel rebranded matching the main channel when Spark’s entertainment channels relaunched with trailer transitions and the replacement of DIN with Avenir.

Whilst Spark rebranded in 2009, Spark 2 retained the 2005 branding.

On 9 October 2013, the branding and presentation on Spark’s entertainment channels was revised again; as part of this the logo change resulting in the drop of the famous "ripple square" logo that had been used since the foundation of it’s parent channel.

On Friday 11th August 2023, it was announced Thunderstorm, 3C's adult anime and action block would move to Spark 2 effective from 7th September.
