About

DR 1 History, Coverage, Features

DR 1 is a Danish television channel owned and operated by the Danish Broadcasting Corporation. The channel was launched on October 2, 1951 under the name Statsradiofonien TV. Originally, the channel aired content for only one hour three times a week. The channel would undergo quite a few re-brandings in subsequent years, only to settle with the name DR 1 in 1996. It is considered as the flagship channel of the Danish Broadcasting Corporation over its sister channels, DR 2 and DR 3.

Over the years, DR 1 has been labeled as a general entertainment channel, with its wide range of topics going from news broadcasts, drama series, entertainment programs, sports, children’s programming, reality shows, and more. The channel airs most of its content in Danish language, although some shows that were imported from the U.S., Australia, or the United Kingdom have been aired in their original languages with Danish subtitles. Most of the programs aired on this channel over the years have been in-house productions, but there have been co-productions with other Nordic television companies via the conglomerate known as Nordvision.

Speaking about sports, the channel has frequently been used to air high-profile sports events such as the UEFA Euro, the Women’s UEFA Euro Qualifying, the U-21 UEFA Euro, and the FIFA World Cup. Most of the games aired by the channel have included the Danish National Football Team.

DR 1 was launched as a Standard Definition channel, but a High-Definition feed was made available to all users in Denmark to enhance their viewing experience. Both the SD and HD feeds may still be available on some regions of this country.
