History

BBC Television Service was the world's first regular public television service with a high level of image resolution.^[2]

The channel was later renamed BBC TV until the launch of sister channel BBC Two in 1964. After that it was known as BBC1, but changed to the current spelling in 1997. The channel has an annual budget of £840 million, and makes an annual profit of £900 million.^[3] Along with the BBC's other UK television stations, it is funded completely by the television licence fee - this means it shows no adverts.

On the 8 January 2024, the BBC ended the SDTV feed on satellite services.^[4]
