VRT 1 (

sponsorship

messages are broadcast in between some programmes.

VRT 1 focuses on drama, entertainment, news and current affairs in a similar vein to

BBC Broadcast.^[1]

The channel got its current branding in 2023.

VRT 1 is the equivalent of its French-language counterpart, La Une, the first channel of the Belgian Francophone broadcaster, RTBF.

On-screen presentation

Continuity

With its sister channel Ketnet, Eén was one of 21 stations in Europe to utilise in-vision continuity presentation. Four regular staff announcers (as of January 2014) were presenting in-vision and out-of-vision links from lunchtime until around midnight or in the early hours (if necessary) each day.

The last team of announcers was composed of:

Andrea Croonenberghs (senior announcer)
Geena Lisa Peeters
Eva Daeleman
Saartje Vandendriessche

The in-vision presentation was ditched on 26 July 2015.^[2] Since that day, it is replaced by out-of-vision continuity.

Seasonal identity

As of its 2007 rebrand^{[citation needed]} as één, the channel uses different idents, logos, blips and a different colour scheme every season. This seasonality concept was abolished when Eén got a new look, created by Gédéon Programmes, in early 2009.
