The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

'''RTP2''' (''RTP dois'') is a Portuguese [[free-to-air]] television channel owned and operated by state-owned [[public broadcaster]] [[Rádio e Televisão de Portugal]] (RTP). It is the company's second television channel, and is known for broadcasting [[Culture|cultural]], factual and children's programming without interruptions, including documentaries, concerts, theatre and independent, European and classic cinema.

It was launched on 25 December 1968 as the second regular [[Television in Portugal|television service in Portugal]] right after RTP's [[RTP1|first channel]] was launched on 7 March 1957. Two regional channels followed, [[RTP Madeira]] on 6 August 1972 and [[RTP Açores]] on 10 August 1975. As RTP held a [[monopoly]] on television broadcasting in the country, they were the only television channels until the first [[Commercial broadcasting|commercial television]] was launched on 6 October 1992, when [[SIC (Portuguese TV channel)|SIC]] started broadcasting nationwide.

Commonly referred as the "Second" (''O Segundo''), and for a time rebranded as ''"A Dois"'' (Portuguese for ''the (channel) two''), it is nowadays referred to as RTP2.

Similar to [[BBC Two]], RTP2 aims at less mainstream and more intellectual content. RTP2 is the only of several [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]] and European national/international channels that has a strict cultural and educational programming (comparable to [[Arte]]). RTP2 is the only broadcaster from [[Portugal]] that broadcasts programming without interruptions, ad breaks or in line messaging. Together with sister channel [[RTP1]], it became a 24-hour service in 2005. RTP2's line-up is devoted to worldwide recognized quality television content, institutional [[European Union|EU]]/national programming or advertising, television series, cinematography, documentary films, theatre and classical music. As of 2007, its share of the national audience was 5%-7%.

==History==
RTP studied the hypothesis of launching a second channel in 1967, these plans went into fruition in 1968.<ref>((cite web |title=Do 2º Programa à Lua e ao "Zip-Zip"|url=https://museu.rtp.pt/livro/50Anos/Livro/DecadaDe60/Do2ProgramaALuaEAo/default.htm |access-date=9 May 2022 |website=RTP |date=2007))</ref> The service (going under the unofficial name of '''II Programa''') began broadcasting on 25 December 1968 on the UHF band, broadcasting to large urban centres, simply relaying programming from the first network over the course of two hours every night. In 1969, the channel had 1012 hours of operation, living upon repeats from the main service.<ref>((cite web |title=Do 2º Programa à Lua e ao "Zip-Zip"|url=https://museu.rtp.pt/livro/50Anos/Livro/DecadaDe60/Do2ProgramaALuaEAo/Pag15/default.htm |access-date=9 May 2022 |website=RTP |date=2007))</ref>

Regular broadcasts started on 21 November 1970. In 1971, the channel added an extra hour to its daily schedule, now starting at 20:30.<ref>((cite web |title=Do 2º Programa à Lua e ao "Zip-Zip"|url=https://museu.rtp.pt/livro/50Anos/Livro/DecadaDe60/Do2ProgramaALuaEAo/Pag24/default.htm |access-date=9 May 2022 |website=RTP |date=2007))</ref> As the 1970s progressed, the channel slowly started to add (predominantly European) shows on the schedule that RTP1 did not air.

On 16 October 1978, RTP decided to separate '''RTP-1''' and '''RTP/2''', giving each channel their own teams and news operations. Fernando Lopes became the controller of the newly-separate channel, being nicknamed as "'''Canal Lopes'''" (the Lopes channel).

Towards the start of the 80s, owing to cost-cutting measures, RTP 2 was now under RTP 1's control again.

In 1986, the channel was part of the '''[[Europa TV]]''' experiment, airing the channel's programming between 16:30 and 20:00. As soon as Europa TV closed, some Music Box shows were relayed on the channel. ''Agora Escolha'' premiered in the same year, a phone-in show which allowed the viewer to choose from two different TV shows. It got cancelled in the mid-90s, apart from a brief (and web-centric) revival in 2011 on RTP Memória.

On 17 September 1990, RTP 2 was renamed '''Canal 2''', then to '''TV2''' on 14 September 1992. As TV2, the channel's slogan was '''A Outra TV'''.

In 1994, TV2 was forced to focus entirely on minorities, causing major changes to the channel's schedule. High-profile football matches and telenovelas were transferred from TV2 to the more mainstream channel, Canal 1 and the channel's ratings started to vertiginously decrease.

On 29 April 1996, the channel's name reverted to RTP2, carrying the same scheduling format as TV2. The channel started to relay [[Euronews]] in Portuguese at certain times.

Commercial advertising was now prohibited towards the new millennium.

On 5 January 2004, the channel renamed once again, becoming '''2:''', pronounced '''a dois''' (the two). As a result, the channel was now forced to focus on children's programming, cultural interests and the civil society.

==Logos and identities==
===1968-1977===

===1977-1979===
RTP2 began a 12-year period of changing logos alongside its sister channel RTP1, and that's why these two channels were changing their logos as well as their on-air identities at overall for a lot of various times. Obviously, RTP2 were adopting a new logo as a separate entity in October 1977, and it were consisting of a stylish-lowercased '''rtp''' wordmark alongside the 2-numeral that is formed out of the letter '''t''', because this logo is so famous for appearing on ''Zé Gato'', that had been aired on RTP2.

===1979-1981===
Sometimes when RTP's two TV channels commenced a 5-year period of sharing their same logo format with some different colors, RTP2 began to use a new logo on 14 June 1979, and eventually, its new logo were the same than RTP1's new logo, but the '''RTP1''' wordmark are instead replaced with the '''RTP2''' wordmark, because this logo is colored with yellow, so that's why yellow will be RTP2's favorite color.

===1981-March 1983===
In February 1981, RTP2 got a new logo again and it were the same than RTP1's logo, but the 1-numeral are instead replaced with a red 2-numeral, especially that the '''RTP''' wordmark are appearing under the 2-numeral although it is also colored with red.
