Television channel
One
(stylized as
one
) is a German
free-to-air
television channel
owned and operated by the German public-broadcasting consortium
ARD
. Managed since October 2005 by
Westdeutscher Rundfunk
on behalf of ARD as a whole, the channel was launched (as
EinsFestival
) on 30 August 1997.
History
[
edit
]
On 29 July 2016,
WDR
announced that from early September 2016
Einsfestival
became
One
and became a channel specifically aimed at viewers aged between 30 and 49.
[1]
[2]
The channel's website, Twitter, and Facebook presences were updated on 1 September 2016,
[3]
and the on-air rebrand took effect on 3 September 2016, starting with adoption of the new screen identification at 0.00 and ending with the final adjustment of all aspects of the channel's visual design at 10.00.
The rebrand was aimed at increasing awareness of the station as an entertainment channel, particularly among viewers under 30.
[4]
On 15 November 2022, One closed its
SDTV
feed across its cable and satellite feeds, but the SD feed can still be received using an antenna.

Content
[
edit
]
One
concentrates on entertainment, and the channel's content is very largely made up of repeat broadcasts of programmes already shown on other
ARD
channels, national and regional: this includes cinema and television films, drama series, documentaries, reports, magazines, and music programmes (especially rock and pop).
Since the
2004 Summer Olympics
ARD
and
ZDF
have used their
digital
television channels
(respectively,
One
and
ZDFneo
) to broadcast additional coverage of such sporting events as the
Olympic Games
and the
UEFA European Football Championship
. For example, during
UEFA Euro 2008
and the
2010 FIFA World Cup
these digital channels were used to provide coverage of different matches taking place simultaneously.
One
also carries the semi-finals of the
Eurovision Song Contest
, as well as the final (which is also broadcast by ARD's principal channel,
Das Erste
).
