BBC Two was introduced in 1964 as a transmitter in the European 625-line standard (in the English version Norm I) in the UHF range; the first program at that time could only be received in the pre-war standard with 405 lines in the VHF range. After trial broadcasts on NTSC , the decision was made to use PAL , which originated in Germany - since July 1, 1967, BBC 2 has been broadcasting in color, making it the first television station in Europe to officially broadcast its programs in color .
