After the leak of the news in various forums, rumors of a new entertainment channel for DTT under the Canal label spread, in January 2010 it was announced that 40 Latino would cease its free-to-air broadcasts on August 23, 2010.[2][3] Prisa TV later confirmed in a press release[4] that, after much speculation, Canal 2 would become Canal Dos to make the transition to DTT with new and diverse content.[5]
However, Canal 2 stopped broadcasting on DTT on December 19, 2011, due to the lack of success of Premium DTT[6] and it was replaced by Energy, owned by Mediaset España.[7]
