History

In February 2013, Fairchild Media Group received permission from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to launch Fairchild TV 2 HD.[1]

On January 30, 2019, the CRTC approved Fairchild TV Ltd's request to convert Fairchild TV 2 from a licensed Category B specialty service to an exempted Cat. B third language service.[2]

Programs

Fairchild TV 2 HD broadcasts local Canadian and overseas programming in the Cantonese language. It also serves as an overseas station of Hong Kong television station TVB. Unlike its sister station Fairchild TV, TVB programmes on Fairchild TV 2 HD are not delayed by up to a year and are broadcast a few days after it airs in Hong Kong.
