'''New Hellenic Television''' ([[Greek language|Greek]] Νέα Ελληνική Τηλεόραση abbreviated [[NET]]) is the second channel of the [[Greek Broadcasting Corporation]] ([[ERT]]).

Originally, NET started out as the television channel of the [[Hellenic Armed Forces]] known as [[TED]] between [[1966]] and [[1970]] and [[YENED]] between [[1970]] and [[1982]].

In [[1982]], it became a civilian television station and was renamed [[ERT2]]. In [[1987]], [[ERT2]] was absorbed by the [[Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation]] and became [[ET2]].

Originally quite popular, [[ET2]] dropped noticeably in the rating when private television ([[MEGA]], [[ANT1]], etc.) came to [[Greece]]. It was re-organised and relaunched as NET in an effort to capture a share of the audience that it had lost.

NET has been revived as a result of the importation of many popular American series such as "CSI New York", "Desperate Housewives", "Lost", etc. NET has also contracted with Walt Disney to show cartoons and Disney films which has earned the channel a fair share of the young TV audience of [[Greece]].

Its programming also includes news broadcasts, documentaries, sports, films and game shows.
