[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.

The network previously held rights to delayed coverage of Super 14 Rugby, National Provincial Championship (NPC) Rugby, Rugby World Cup, and International Test Rugby union, however these rights were lost to TV3, who subsequently lost the rights again to Prime TV.TV3 also got the rights for the 2008 V8 Supercar series off TV One

[edit] Branding
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, with mixed case lettering, was Launched during the 1996 Olympics, and evolved into the present style in 2003.
On April 8, 2007 TV One relaunched with a new on-air graphics package, including new idents. Light Surrounding You by New Zealand band Evermore was used as the theme music, and the same logo, although with a revised colour scheme, was retained.
Since March 2008 the TV One logo now features the New Zealand Olympic Flag in it. This is because of TV One's right to air the Olympic Games.
