Several years later, [[ETB 2]], its second flagship television channel, commenced operations on 31 May 1986 broadcasting in [[Spanish language|Spanish]], and at the present time it has a further two international channels. Following an agreement between Sogecable and EITB, 87 million households all over [[Europe]] were able to pick up [[ETB Sat]] from the [[Astra (satellites)|Astra]] satellite since May 2001. The corporation also launched [[Canal Vasco]], a medium specifically geared towards the [[Americas]], where it reached viewers through American [[Satellite television|DTH]] and [[Cable television|cable]] companies. Both of these were merged into [[ETB Basque]] in early 2021.
Following the implementation of [[Digital terrestrial television]], the Basque government allowed EITB to create two new digital television channels.<ref>{{Cite news |date=11 July 2007 |title=Autorizan a ETB a crear dos nuevos canales TDT |language=es |work=El Diario Vasco |url=https://www.diariovasco.com/prensa/20070711/television_y_radio/autorizan-crear-nuevos-canales_20070711.html |access-date=25 February 2022}}</ref> The first, [[ETB 3]], started broadcasting in October 2008,<ref>{{Cite web |date=10 October 2008 |title=Las emisiones de ETB-3 han comenzado con las palabras del Lehendakari |url=http://www.eitb.com/television/etb3/detalle/14532/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081013132533/http://www.eitb.com/television/etb3/detalle/14532/ |archive-date=13 October 2008 |access-date=11 October 2008 |website=EITB |language=es}}</ref> offering programming for children and youth in [[Basque language|Basque]].
