VRT Canvas is a Belgian television channel of the Flemishpublic broadcasting organisation Vlaamse Radio- en Televisieomroeporganisatie (VRT). Specialising in both original and adaptations from western Europe and North America, the channel offers: in-depth news and current affairs, non-mainstream entertainment, documentaries, arthouse films, other cultural programming, and most recently additional children's programming.
The channel was founded on 1 December 1997 as the successor to the second channel BRTN TV2 and timeshared with the children's channel Ketnet between 7am and 8pm until 30 April 2012. Ketnet moved to its own channel, initially timesharing with OP12, which allowed Canvas to became a standalone channel. During the weekend there are regular sports broadcasts aired under the brand name Sporza
The current network director of VRT 2, the umbrella name for the two channels, is Bart De Poot.
Prior to the launch of VRT's third channel OP12, VRT Canvas broadcast from 8pm until around midnight to 1am each evening. Since 27 October 2018, Ketnet Junior airs on Canvas every afternoon between 2 and 7 pm (Sunday until 6 pm), along with morning broadcasts on Ketnet.
After the rebranding of VRT 1, Canvas rebranded as VRT Canvas on 4 September 2023.
