Jo Maxi was launched as the youth strand. The Den was moved to the channel, along with most youth and children's programming. In addition to the launch of a new vivid red, blue, and green logo, the channel now came on air at 14:30.

In 1988 the majority of sporting and children's programming was moved to Network 2, the new name for RTÉ 2. While the rebrand was a small success for both channels it was felt that RTÉ 2 and RTÉ 1 needed more specific audiences, RTÉ 2 at this stage was becoming more and more associated with youth orientated programming and sports programming (especially as UK channels were becoming more and more available across the country). However by 1987 RTÉ 2 was beginning to rebrand, RTÉ had relaunch with a new logo and both RTÉ 1 and 2 this year had similar idents. Other Irish language shows included the schools quiz Eureka and Scaoil Amach an Bobailín le Seán Bán Breathnach. Cursaí a current affair programme air on the channel until the mid-1990s. The channel was also there for Irish speakers who were still looking for a television channel in the Irish language. However the channel in its initial format was not considered a success. It broadcast much live programming from the BBC and ITV. Coronation Street aired on the channel simultaneously with ITVs broadcasts of the programme (this continued until 1992 when it was put on RTÉ 1 due to the Olympic Games coverage). To this end one of their main remits was the re-broadcasting of UK programming to Irish Audiences, that would not otherwise be seen on RTÉ 1. Hence RTÉ Two was aim at those that did not have the UK channels. Cable in the republic was only permitted in areas of spillover up to the mid 1980s, to provide viewers with better reception of channels they could already receive over the air. RTÉ 2 (1978–1988)Ħ0% of the Republic of Ireland could receive UK channels via spillover or via cable. Originally the channel broadcast only from in the evening. Due to a technical fault, audio from BBC2 was played during the countdown instead of the proper soundtrack, and when the channel commenced programmes, there was no audio for the initial 15 seconds or so. The channel was opened with a gala ceremony from Cork. The channel started broadcasting on 2 November 1978. RTÉ Two is universally available throughout the island of Ireland on the VHF and UHF bands, and is also available via satellite ( DVB-S) to Irish subscribers of Sky Digital. RTÉ Two ( Irish: RTÉ a Dó) is Ireland's second-oldest television channel, operated by Irish state broadcaster RTÉ.
