Technological advances

Colour TV

Colour television test broadcasts were started in March 1967, with the first large-scale colour broadcasting occurring for the 1968 Winter Olympics in Grenoble, France.[2] DR officially ended "test" transmissions of colour television on April 1, 1970, although it wasn't until 1978 that their last black-and-white television program (TV Avisen) switched to colour.[2]

Teletext

On 16 May 1983 at 14:00 CEST, DR launched its first teletext information service, which is still available on all DR channels.[3]

Widescreen TV

In 2004 DR announced plans for a complete switch from a 4:3 screen ratio to 16:9 widescreen broadcasts. The switch occurred in 2006 when DR moved its production facilities from TV-Byen to DR Byen in Copenhagen. The last of DR1's own productions to switch to widescreen was the daily news programme (TV Avisen) in November 2006.[4]

Digital TV

At midnight on November 1, 2009 the analogue broadcasts shut down nationwide and DR switched to digital broadcasting.[5][6]

High-definition

In January 2012, DR1 switched from 576i SD to 720p HD broadcasting.[7]

HbbTV

In April 2014, DR launched its HbbTV service on DR1, enabling on-demand streaming of DR content directly on an internet-connected television.[8]
