VRT 1 (Dutch: VRT een) is a public Dutch-language TV station in Belgium, owned by the VRT, which also owns Ketnet, VRT Canvas and several radio stations. Although the channel is commercial-free, short sponsorship messages are broadcast in between some programmes.
VRT 1 focuses on drama, entertainment, news and current affairs in a similar vein to BBC One in the United Kingdom. The station was formerly known as VRT TV1 until 21 January 2005, when the Eén (English: "one") branding was launched as part of a major station revamp, with a look created by BBC Broadcast.[1] The channel got its current branding in 2023.
VRT 1 is the equivalent of its French-language counterpart, La Une, the first channel of the Belgian Francophone broadcaster, RTBF.
On-screen presentation
[edit]Continuity
[edit]With its sister channel Ketnet, Eén was one of 21 stations in Europe to utilise in-vision continuity presentation. Four regular staff announcers (as of January 2014) were presenting in-vision and out-of-vision links from lunchtime until around midnight or in the early hours (if necessary) each day.
The last team of announcers was composed of:
- Andrea Croonenberghs (senior announcer)
- Geena Lisa Peeters
- Eva Daeleman
- Saartje Vandendriessche
The in-vision presentation was ditched on 26 July 2015.[2] Since that day, it is replaced by out-of-vision continuity.
Seasonal identity
[edit]As of its 2007 rebrand[citation needed] as één, the channel uses different idents, logos, blips and a different colour scheme every season. This seasonality concept was abolished when Eén got a new look, created by Gédéon Programmes, in early 2009.
