Editing BBC Two (section)

===Regional variations===
BBC Two also has regional variations in [[BBC Two Wales|Wales]] and [[BBC Two Northern Ireland|Northern Ireland]], which occasionally opt out of the national BBC Two feed to air programmes of local interest.

In November 2001, [[BBC Cymru Wales|BBC Wales]] introduced a special opt-out service  known as [[BBC 2W]], which aired weekdays from 8.30 p.m. to 10 p.m. in the BBC Two Wales channel space on digital television, and carried a separate schedule of Welsh-produced programming in comparison to the analogue BBC Two Wales. BBC 2W was discontinued in 2008 due to the transition to digital terrestrial television, with the main BBC Two Wales schedule being carried on Freeview thereafter.<ref>{{Cite news|date=2001-10-29|title=BBC Wales launches new channel|language=en-GB|work=BBC News|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/wales/1626717.stm|access-date=2022-02-24}}</ref>

[[BBC Two Scotland]] operated until February 2019, when it was replaced by the national feed. Concurrently, a bespoke [[BBC Scotland (TV channel)|BBC Scotland channel]] was launched, which simulcasts the BBC Two schedule with opt-outs for local programming from 7:00&nbsp;p.m. to midnight nightly, and occasionally during the afternoon for news and sports programmes.<ref>{{Cite news|date=2019-02-24|title=New BBC Scotland TV channel launches|language=en-GB|work=BBC News|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-47345058|access-date=2019-02-25}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|date=2019-01-31|title=Where to find the new BBC Scotland TV channel|language=en-GB|work=BBC News|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-47069479|access-date=2019-02-12}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=BBC faces strict quotas to ensure it delivers on promises on Scottish content on new channel|url=https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/16683725.bbc-faces-strict-quotas-to-ensure-it-delivers-on-promises-on-scottish-content-on-new-channel/|access-date=2019-02-12|website=Herald Scotland|date=3 September 2018 |language=en}}</ref>
