.2 Network (pronounced Dot-Two Network) is the name of a television network designed for digital television subchannels (hence the ".2") that is scheduled to launch on December 8, 2008. .2 Network is a service of Columbus, Ohio-based Guardian Enterprise Group, owner of family-themed independent W23BZ in Columbus.

In November 2007, Guardian reached a licensing agreement with Sony Pictures Entertainment, and programs for .2 Network include "Gidget", "The Flying Nun", and hundreds of blockbuster movies from the Sony Pictures library. The .2 network is also the source for multiple broadcast premieres, and the prime-time line-up follows a movie channel like format.

Notes

*1The licensee holds a duopoly in the market, and has not announced which station will carry the subchannel.
*2According to the Dot2 "first affiliates" press release, these markets have been confirmed, but the identity of the affiliate station has not been released. These do not appear on .2 Network's own site in the list of stations; in some cases these are one-station markets.
*3The station is the only station in the confirmed market that is suitable for carriage.

HDTV

.2 Network plans on offering a 720p HDTV feed to its affiliates for either the subchannel or as a cable offering, despite some engineers' skepticism of carrying two HDTV channels on one DTV frequency.
