TV SLO 1

**TV SLO 1** or **TV Slovenija 1** is the first television channel of RTV Slovenia, which focuses on news, feature films, documentaries, talk shows, serials, children's programs, various entertainment shows, and major live national events.

## History

The first television broadcast was recorded in 1957, TV Slovenija (as TV Ljubljana) began regularly broadcasting an experimental program from the television studio in Ljubljana on September 11, 1958. The regular broadcasting of the television program began on November 28 of the same year.

The central information news bulletin TV-dnevnik – TV journal), was prepared by Studio Belgrade at the end of the 50s and in the 60s, with a predefined ratio of shares of the joint programme, as follows: Belgrade 40%, Zagreb 30%, and Ljubljana 30%. On April 15, 1968, Dnevnik was sent into the airwaves for the first time; Marija Velkavrh and Vili Vodopivec were the announcers speaking from the TV Ljubljana studio. In the very beginning a news broadcast TV Obzornik was produced weekly, and already on the second day of transmitting the first music entertainment show was broadcasted. On November 22, 1958 the first TV play was broadcasted, and on January 21, 1959 the first transmission from the Ljubljana Opera. In 1960 TV Ljubljana recorded for the European Broadcasting Area (Eurovision) for the first time. Ski jumps from Planica were transmitted; TV Ljubljana did a great job and received a number of compliments and praise for its efforts. The building of a larger studio (230 square metres) at the time offered new programme possibilities. During that decade, the amount of programming produced exclusively for Slovenian audiences increased substantially.

TV Ljubljana kept the same studio capabilities until 1975, when the new TV centre started operating, adapted exclusively for colour TV. The introduction of colour TV had begun earlier, at first with movies and imported programmes, and later with home production. Since 1972 TV announcers were in colours (the first one was Metka Centrih Vogelnik), while the first Dnevnik in colour (with hosts) in the first of January of 1978. In 1984, teletext was introduced, whereas the digitalization started in 1986.

The programmes of TV Ljubljana improved during the years, the modern technology allowed programme workers to reach for new, not yet mastered forms of televised communication and expression. A large step forward was taken in the 70s and 80s of the 20th century, especially on the field of sport transmissions, and as far as artistic programmes are concerned, the TV workers paved the way to the today established co-productions, started to develop international cooperation etc. TV Ljubljana, later RTV Slovenija, has since its beginnings aspired to create first-rate information, artistic, documentary, children and youth, and entertainment programmes.

RTV Ljubljana was renamed RTV Slovenija on April 24, 1990. On January 1, 1993, RTV Slovenija was admitted as a full active member of the European Broadcasting Union following the collapse of Yugoslavia, and began participation in the Eurovision Song Contest.

During the Ten-Day war for Slovenian independence in 1991 most of the main transmitting posts was destroyed. Air strikes damaged the devices on Krvavec, Kum, Nanos, Boč, Pohorje and in Domžale. The damage to RTV amounted to approximately ten million German marks.

In 2001 test broadcasting of digital DVB-T television started at the Transmitting centre Krim, reaching Ljubljana and surrounding settlement, in 2002 RTV S started building a land satellite station in Domžale. MMC (Multimedia Center), the streaming media portal of RTV SLO was founded in 2001, and TV Slo 1 has been broadcasted live there since then. In 2002 the channel started broadcasting 24 hour. The important milestone for RTV S occurred in 2006 as well, when RTV S started with regular broadcasting of DVB-T and T-DAB in Slovenia, and as early as in 2008 test broadcasting of high definition picture TV-programme started.

TV Slovenija 1 is now accessible throughout the country, with its headquarters in Ljubljana. It broadcasts in the Slovenian language, with the exception of certain shows on TV S1 in the Hungarian language. For the Hungarian minority, some shows in the Hungarian language are broadcast on TV Slovenija 1.
