The channel was initially an educational network that broadcast mainly science and education programs, including language learning; that is why "Dwójka" also broadcast foreign films in the original version in slots such as Kino wersji oryginalnej[1] (Movies in their original version) or the slightly later Kino poliglotów (Films for Polyglots).

After the final abolition of martial law in 1983 and the return to regular broadcasting, the concept of the network began to be implemented as a channel with its own, clearer face, which could significantly diversify the programming offer.

When Zbigniew Napierała became the director of the network, more classical music programs appeared on the air, which then took up as much as 11% of airtime.

At that time, they made their debut in Dwójka, among others Iwona Kubicz, Jolanta Fajkowska or Grażyna Torbicka.

TP2 became TVP2 in 1992, at the time Poland was opening up to capitalism and began adapting international game show formats, such as Koło Fortuny and Familiada.
