One is a digital television channel operated by the German public broadcaster ARD which originally launched as EinsFestival on 30 August 1997.
One is available on satellite in Europe and in Germany cable and (in some regions) on digital terrestrial television. The service is also available on the Zattoo Internet television service (Germany only).
On 29 July 2016, WDR announced that Einsfestival would be rebranded as 'One' on 3 September 2016 to become a station for people from ages 30 to 49. On 1 September 2016, the website, Twitter and Facebook presences were changed to "One".
The on air rebrand took place on 3 September 2016, starting with the station identification at midnight and ending with the adjustment of the station design at 10:00. The rebrand aims to increase awareness of the station as an entertainment channel, particularly among viewers under 30.
Programming includes documentaries, magazine programmes, films and music (rock and classical). Most of the programmes have already been broadcast by other public stations that belong to the ARD.
Since the 2004 Summer Olympics ARD and ZDF use their digital television channels to broadcast additional content about sport events like the Olympic Games or the UEFA Euro. For example, at the UEFA Euro 2008 and the 2010 FIFA World Cup they used the digital channels to broadcast different football matches taking place at the same time.
