M2 (em kettő) is a Hungarian television channel owned and operated by Duna Média since 2015. It is also transmitted in high definition.

On 22 December 2012, M2's daytime hours became dedicated to children's programming. Since 15 March 2015, the night-time programming is called M2 Petőfi.

Similar to TVP ABC in Poland, CBeebies, CBBC, and BBC Three in the UK, or ČT :D in the Czech Republic, M2 broadcasts children's programming during the day, while M2 Petőfi targets youth audiences as it broadcasts at night featuring music videos (local and abroad), music-related (music concerts), youth-related programming, and exclusive content from its radio counterpart, Petőfi Rádió.

History

M2 launched its children block on 22 December 2012 at 05:00 CET.

On 3 November 2021, M2 Petőfi, the prime-time adult block, will be rebranded for the first time since 2015. The rebranding will also reflect M2, the main children's channel that the new look debuted on 1 October 2020.
