'''Fiji Two''' (also known as '''Channel 2''') is a free-to-air television channel run by Fiji Television. Created in 2016 to take advantage of the arrival of digital terrestrial television (the Walesi platform), the channel provides an alternative offering to Fiji One.
==History== In July 2015, shortly after Fiji Television got a new 12-year license, the company announced that, in line with the introduction of the Walesi DTT service, it would launch a second terrestrial channel, Fiji Two, exclusively on the platform. It was announced that the channel would lean towards entertainment.<ref>[https://fijisun.com.fj/2015/07/10/fiji-tv-to-launch-fiji-two-channel/ Fiji TV To Launch Fiji Two Channel]</ref> The announcement came when Fiji TV was selling Sky Pacific to Digicel.<ref>[https://fijivillage.com/news/Sky-Pacific-looking-for-partner-to-take-company-to-the-next-level-r529sk/ Sky Pacific looking for partner to take company to the next level]</ref>
