RDS2 is a secondary feed of the Canadian French language specialty channel RDS, owned by CTV Specialty Television Inc., a joint venture of Bell Media (80%) and ESPN (20%).

As with its English-language equivalent TSN2, it is a secondary outlet for programming that cannot be aired on the main network, and operates under the same CRTC licence as RDS itself. It will only be available on digital cable and satellite services. As of November 23, 2011, television providers that carry the new channel include Bell TV, Shaw Direct, Vidéotron.
