TV ONE is a free to air New Zealand television channel run by TVNZ. It is primarily targeted at a more mature audience, with a broad range of programming including ONE News and Current Affairs and ONE Sport. The channel screens much of New Zealand's major sporting events such as the Olympics, the Commonwealth Games and America's Cup.
TV ONE also features a full entertainment schedule that includes both homegrown and international shows such as Coronation Street, through to a range of award winning documentaries, drama and comedy.

[edit] History
On 1 April 1975, the New Zealand Broadcasting Corporation was split into 3 separate state owned corporations; Television One, Television Two and Radio New Zealand. The Avalon Television Centre in Wellington opened that day and became the headquarters of TV One. WNTV1 and DNTV2 studios were used for TV One, while AKTV2 and CHTV3 studios were used for TV2, which commenced later that year. In 1980 the two television channels merged to form Television New Zealand, with the purpose of finally providing a dividend to the Government. The merger was promised to provide 'complementary programming' for both channels.

ONE News and Current Affairs programming takes up a large amount of the weekly schedule including Breakfast, Midday, ONE News, Close Up and Tonight.

[edit] Logos
TV ONE has used numerous logos throughout its history.
The original logo featured large rounded lettering, sometimes with the top half of the 'o' in the lowercase 'one' divided into rainbow colours.
This was replaced after the formation of Television New Zealand in 1980, with uppercase inline lettering.
The Friz Quadrata typeface and a more classical look debuted in 1987, contrasting Channel 2's more contemporary appearance and highlighting the network's appeal to more traditional and Anglophile viewers.
The more familiar sans serif italic lettering was launched during the 1996 Olympics, and evolved into the present style in 2003.
