SVT1 (SVT Ett) is the primary television station of the Swedish public service broadcaster Sveriges Television in Sweden.
Television in Sweden officially launched on 4 September 1956 with the launch of Radiotjänst TV, which was renamed Sveriges Radio TV a year later. The arrival of a second television network, TV2, led to the first channel relaunching as TV1 in 1969, while remaining under the Sveriges Radio banner. Full-time colour broadcasting in 1970 before both networks were placed under the management of Sveriges Television (SVT) on 1 July 1979.
To encourage competition between the two channels, TV1 relaunched as Kanal 1 in July 1987 with the entirety of its homegrown programming produced in , including the national news and current affairs programme Aktuellt (Current). Increased competition from commercial channels, including TV4, led to another relaunch as SVT1 in 1996, incorporating programming produced from across the country.
A major corporate revamp in 2001 saw the channel repositioned as SVT's flagship network in an effort to make it the most watched television station in Sweden - a position previously held by SVT2. As part of the revamp, TV2's popular news programme Rapport (Report) moved to the first network while Aktuellt moved to the second network.
Alongside Rapport, SVT's main entertainment shows air on the first channel, including Melodifestivalen, Så ska det låta and På spåret are broadcast on this channel. Since 2006, SVT1 has fallen behind to commercial rival, TV4 in terms of audience share (22.2% for TV4 as opposed to SVT1's 19%).
On weekdays, a typical broadcast day on SVT1 begins with the breakfast programme Gomorron Sverige (Good Morning Sweden) followed by a mix of repeats, films and documentaries throughout the day as well as live sport. The main evening schedule usually airs from around 5pm until midnight with the main 25-minute edition of Rapport at 7.30pm, alongside shorter bulletins at 6pm and later in the evening. Repeat programming airs throughout the night.
