Saudi TV Channel 2 (KSA 2), or as of 2014 known as Saudi 2 is the English news and entertainment TV channel of Saudi Arabia. The channel produces programmes focusing on cultural, political, and economic issues aimed at expatriates living in Saudi Arabia. Following its conversion to a 24-hour channel it expanded its broadcasting to Europe and North America in the middle of 2007 and now employs a large network of news correspondents based in the Middle East, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Saudi 2 - the kingdom's official English language network station has played an important and significant role in rectifying ideas, clarifying facts, and changing stereotypes about Arabs and Muslims.

Saudi 2 began transmission at the beginning of 1982 with a number of religious, social, and political goals, most of which it has successfully achieved. Saudi 2 aims to reach as many people as possible, as well as conveying the local picture and the cultural, political, and economic heritage, through the variety of programs, reports, interviews, live programming, and talk shows it offers. The channel broadcasts around the clock and delivers detailed newscasts, as well as news headlines.

Among the channel's goals is to rectify misconceptions about Saudi society and Islam. This is in addition to creating a common bond between the Saudi society and other societies that serves as a point of agreement. This is through emphasizing the common points that bring them together, foremost among which is that the Islamic Saudi society is a loving society that seeks everything that preserves mankind. This is in addition to highlighting the role of the kingdom in global culture and its efforts in supporting global stability and security.

In 1982, Saudi 2 only transmitted 10 hours worth of programming a day and was targeted towards foreign residents in the kingdom. This is because of the large number of expatriates living in the kingdom and the channel was launched to provide some form of entertainment for them and shed light on the country's cultural and economic heritage. Because of its reliance on terrestrial transmission at that time, foreign residents were the channel's main target audience.

Back then, the channel presented newscasts in English and French and some translated awareness programs, in addition to some sports and children's programs in English. Also, it often played a role in supporting Channel One through airing live events, such as soccer matches, simultaneously with it.

We are also devoting attention to educating the foreign communities in the country about the existing regulations. This is in addition to educating those who wish to come to the kingdom about the measures and regulations by which they must abide. Moreover, we are concerned with correcting false news in the event of its emergence, in addition to the preservation of sound ideas.

Saudi 2 has created a large network of correspondents around the world. It has also sought the help of several experienced newscasters and announcers, particularly after it entered the stage of broadcasting to Europe and North America in the middle of 2007.

The most significant step that Saudi 2 has implemented is manifest in producing 75 percent of the programs it airs. This is a high percentage compared to similar channels, in terms of the variety of programs it offers. These programs include talk shows that aim at changing the existing erroneous ideas while committing to Islamic values and customs and traditions, in addition to variety, educational, entertainment, cultural, and religious programs. They also include programs that aim at delivering all the official information regarding the rules and regulations, economic programs, the provision of information about investment attractions, and the clarification of the incentives intended to encourage investment in Saudi Arabia.

The channel devotes attention to youth and sports programs. This is in addition to broadcasting world events and local and Gulf series that are dubbed in English. This is made possible through the help of some firms and institutions specialized in this field.
