'''"ICTV2"''' ("International Commercial Television and Radio Company") is a Ukrainian TV channel, part of the Starlight Media group. It launched in December 2022, replacing {{ill|ICTV Ukraine|uk}}, which had been an internationally oriented service.
== History == On December 15, 2022, the National Council of Television and Radio Broadcasting of Ukraine reissued the license for {{ill|ICTV Ukraine|uk}}, which had been an international channel with programs from ICTV until February 2022, when it began broadcasting the United News service on a non-stop basis. The new license changed the service's name to ICTV2 and shifted its content to series, shows and full-length films.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Starlight Media анонсувала новий телеканал, що поверне популярні програми та кіно-серіальну лінійку ICTV|url=https://ictv.ua/ua/ictv2/starlight-media-anonsuvala-novyj-telekanal-shho-poverne-populyarni-programy-ta-kino-serialnu-linijku-ictv/|website=Телеканал ICTV|date=2022-12-15|accessdate=2022-12-15|language=uk}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Нацрада переоформила ліцензії ICTV Ukraine та "1+1 International"|url=https://detector.media/rinok/article/206022/2022-12-15-natsrada-pereoformyla-litsenzii-ictv-ukraine-ta-11-international/|website=detector.media|date=2022-12-15|accessdate=2022-12-15|language=uk}}</ref> Rebranding took place on December 17.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Спешл на MEGOGO: новий телеканал ICTV2 зʼявиться на медіасервісі|url=https://life.fakty.com.ua/ua/showbiz/speshl-na-megogo-novyj-telekanal-ictv2-zʼyavytsya-na-mediaservisi/|website=life.fakty.com.ua|date=2022-12-16|accessdate=2022-12-16|language=uk}}</ref>
