KNR2 is a Greenlandic television channel owned by Kalaallit Nunaata Radioa. It is a pop-up channel, providing parliamentary coverage as well as sporting events.[1]
History
The channel was created per a December 2012 decision to enable live coverage of DR1, DR2 and DR Ultra free-to-air in Greenland while converting KNR1 into an all-Greenlandic channel, effective 7 January 2013. The channel's fixed programming at the time of launching was limited to live Inatsisartut sessions, as well as coverage of national and international events.[2] After a new agreement with Naalakkersuisut in June 2016 (initially due spring 2015), one of the corporation's goals was to increase the channel's use.[3]
On 21 June 2020, both KNR1 and KNR2 switched to 720p HD resolution.[4]
