RTÉ One (Irish: ''RTÉ a hAon'') is the flagship television channel of Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ), and it is the most popular and most watched television channel in Ireland. It was launched as ''Telefís Éireann'' on 31 December 1961, it was renamed ''RTÉ Television'' in 1966, and it was renamed as RTÉ 1 upon the launch of RTÉ 2 in 1978. RTÉ is funded partly by the licence fee; the remainder of the funding is provided by commercial advertising. Because RTÉ is funded partly by the licence fee it shows considerably fewer advertisements than most other channels available in Ireland and Northern Ireland. RTÉ One is available to 98% of the Irish population in High Definition on the Saorview DTT service. It is carried on all the digital television services in the Republic of Ireland such as Sky Ireland, Virgin Media Ireland and Magnet Networks. It is also available in Northern Ireland via Saorview overspill, the UK Freeview service, satellite provider Sky, and cable provider Virgin Media. The channel is also available online through RTÉ Live. ==History== RTÉ One began life as ''Telefís Éireann'' in 1961. It was renamed ''RTÉ Television'' in 1966, upon the renaming of the Radio Éireann Authority to Radio Telefís Éireann, and became ''RTÉ 1'' upon the launch of RTÉ 2 in 1978. Originally the station broadcast in black and white throughout the country using the European 625-line standard, as well as on the 405-line television system in the northern and eastern parts of the country; since the mid-50s, many people in these areas already had 405-line TV sets receiving BBC and ITV transmissions from Wales and Northern Ireland.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=405 Lines in Ireland (1961 - 1983) )〕 A standards conversion unit was used to provide the 405-line service, but when this electronic device failed, optical conversion was used, reportedly by directing a 405-line camera at a 625-line monitor.〔 The first programme to be pre-recorded for the new television service was The School Around the Corner, an interview/quiz show created and presented by Paddy Crosbie and produced by James Plunkett .〔Your Dinner's Poured Out! by Paddy Crosbie. 1st Published 1981 O'Brien Press Ltd.〕 PAL colour transmissions began in 1968, and the first programme made and transmitted in colour was "John Hume's Derry." The first Outside Broadcast in colour for RTÉ Television was the 1971 Railway Cup Finals (Gaelic Athletic Association), and soon after that, the Eurovision Song Contest 1971 from Dublin. In the 1970s the studios in RTÉ's Television Centre started being equipped for colour, the first was the news studio in 1974, studio 2 in 1975 and finally studio 1 (the largest studio, used for productions such as The Late Late Show) in 1976.〔 RTÉ One was also the sole Irish TV channel until 1978, when RTÉ 2 (known as Network 2 between 1988 and 2004) was created. The Irish Language station TG4 began in 1996 as TnaG. Since 1998 RTÉ One also competes with TV3.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About TV3 )〕 RTÉ One since it began broadcasting has competed with BBC One and UTV and in 1980s RTÉ began competing with other satellite and cable channels that are widely available across Ireland through cable subscription services due to the high take up of cable TV from Pan-European and UK channels since the 1960s, and the continued roll out of MMDS and satellite during the 1980s and 1990s. From 1961, RTÉ Television would only broadcast from 17:35 until around 23:30 during the Winter months. In 1975 this changed slightly with transmission starting at around 15:30 and concluding around midnight (00:00). 24 hour RTÉ ONE began in the late 1990s. In 1988, RTÉ One launched a schedule with a new news bulletin at 13:00. In the past RTÉ One did not offer "breakfast television" but since 2013 the station now airs an early morning current affairs show called Morning Edition which also simulcast on RTÉ News Now, TV3 is the only indigenous broadcaster which is in direct competition for this early morning market with ''Ireland AM'' since 1999. RTÉ ONE during the Olympics and special breaking news or election coverage, will provide a special bulletin in the mornings. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「RTÉ One」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
