 BBC Two has in the past broadcast variations within the English regions, though now only has variations for Wales and Northern Ireland.BBC Two Scotland was discontinued in 2019 and replaced by the national version, and was succeeded in purpose by the new BBC Scotland channel—which carries a nightly lineup of programming of relevance to Scotland.The channel is still effectively a regional variation of BBC Two (albeit operating in parallel with the English regions' version rather than as a substitute of it), as it simulcasts BBC Two outside of its main broadcast hours.
