RIK 2 (Greek: ΡΙΚ 2) is a Cypriot television channel owned and operated by Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation. It was launched in 1992.
History
[edit]RIK 2 was the second television channel to start in Cyprus, starting shortly before the first private television channel O Logos in April. Successful content in the 1990s included Latin American telenovelas and US soaps such as The Bold and the Beautiful, which, as of 2005, was still on air.[1] As of the last week of 2023, RIK was the least-watched television channel in Cyprus, out of the six local services available terrestrially. Moreover, its viewing share is smaller than that of ERT World, which is available over-the-air in Cyprus.[2]
Programming
[edit]Broadcasts are typically in the Greek language, or in foreign languages with Greek subtitles.
Children's programs and sports programs are shown, alongside news bulletins, the news in Turkish and English, a daily broadcast (BIZ / WE) in Greek and Turkish addressing issues of interest to both Turkish and Greek Cypriots, as well as cultural shows, European news, foreign series and films.
