Belarus 1

The channel began broadcasting on the evening of January 1, 1956 . Viewers were greeted by channel announcer Tamara Bastun ^[2] :

Good evening! Happy New Year! We begin our test transmissions.

Then the channel broadcast only 2-3 hours a day and only on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

In the 1960s, television broadcasting provided 70% of the territory of Belarus. A two-program television was formed (based on the programs of the 1st program of the Moscow Central Television ). The volume of own broadcasting was 718 hours a year, 50% of which was occupied by socio-political programs. In the mid-60s, the production of feature and documentary television films began (based on the main editorial board of Telefilm). In 1962, with the launch of Intervision, an exchange of programs with other republics began. In the 1970s and 1980s, television coverage already covered 95% of the territory of Belarus. Since 1972, programs have been broadcast under 3 programs, including color broadcasts of our own production (since 1974) ^[3] . In 1978, the hardware-studio complex of the Belarusian Radio and Television Center was put into operation, which allowed to increase the volume and quality of color images. In January 1981, an independent Belarusian program was released on Channel 6, which was not blocked by programs from Moscow. In terms of its own production, it occupied the 6th place in the USSR, and 86% of Belarusians watched its programs. The broadcasting structure of the national television channel consisted of 3 blocks: informational-journalistic, scientific-educational and artistic.

In 1992, the “Belarusian Program” was renamed the “Television Belarusian Channel” (“TBK”). Then the television channel broadcast from 8:00 to 1:00, sometimes until 2:00. Until 1996, TBK was the only Belarusian television channel (besides him, ORT , RTR , NTV , Culture and TVC were broadcast on the territory of Belarus). Since 1993, TBK has become a full member of the European Broadcasting Union (EMU). In June 1996, “TBK” was renamed “Belarusian Television” (“BT”). The broadcasting time of BT in 1996-1998 was from 7:00 to 1:00 in connection with the appearance of “Good luck, Belarus!”; Oscar (until 1997); "Health"; Multiclub and other programs. Due to the expansion of the broadcast “Kind ranitsy, Belarus!” The broadcasting time was on weekdays from 6:30 to 1:00, on weekends from 7:00 to 0:15.

From 2001, the broadcast time of BT increased from 6:00 to 1:00, and from 2002 to 2003, the broadcast time increased from 6:00 to 3:00. Since 2003, due to the appearance of the Belteleradiocompany LAD and Belarus-TV channels, the broadcasting time has decreased from 7:00 to 0:45 on weekdays and from 7:25 to 1:00 on weekends.

In 2006, BT was renamed the First National ^[4] . From 2006 to 2008, the broadcasting time was from 7:00 to 3:00, and from 2009 the channel worked from 6:00 to 2:00. In 2011, “First National” was renamed “Belarus 1”, and in the first days after the channel was renamed, the broadcast periodically ended even after 3:00. As of 2016, the channel broadcasts from 6:00 to 2:30 on weekdays, and from 7:00 to 1:30 on weekends.

On March 30, 2018, the channel switched to broadcasting in the high definition standard (HD) ^[5] .
