R1 is a Ulakisonian free-to-air terrestrial general entertainment television channel owned by the state-owned broadcaster Ruteliulak. Launched on August 27, 1964 as Ulakisonian Television, it is Ulakisonia's oldest television channel still on-air today. R1 is the flagship television channel of Ruteliulak, and is headquartered in the Ruteliulak Building. It mostly focuses on drama and edutainment programming.

R1 commenced operations as Ulakisonian Television on August 27, 1964, as a private television station in Sheze. It expanded its transmissions in other cities during the late 1960s. It became a fully state-owned property in 1969, under the RTVU wing. In 1990, RTVU Program One became a part of the US-backed USUMI. After the United States withdrew from Ulakisonia in December 1990, USUMI Program One was renamed to Ozuk Programa, and was finally renamed to its current name in 1998.

History
Test broadcasts of R1 began in 1960 in Geram. Later, it shifted to Sheze (channel 1) and was officially launched under the name of Ulakisonian Television on August 27, 1964. Prior to that, there were plans to establish an official Ulakisonian television station, but this was delayed many times due to the brutal civil war. During the war, the University of Zampiqar established the first Ulakisonian television station, UZTV Channel 9 in June 1959, but was closed in 1962, due to its transmitters being destroyed by the war. Its frequencies would later be used for RTVU's Zampiqar station. In 1965, UTV established its stations in Ayqarıtshe (channel 2) and Sigiyan (channel 79). It heavily competed with the communist Ulakisonian Central Television during the late 1960s.

After the fall of the democratic government in 1969, UTV was merged with UCT, and came under RTVU's ownership, but still retained the Ulakisonian Television name. In 1970, UTV stations were established in Zampiqar (channel 9), Loparga (channel 12), and the transmitters of Televisin Toatoalugi were seized by the government and became UTV affiliates. It established stations in Ihaqar Bazar (channel 72) in 1971, and Khamarkhaide (channel 48) in 1972. Ulakisonian Television was mostly used as a propaganda spewing machine, with propaganda programming occupying upto 60% of its schedule. As a result, neighboring countries of Ulakisonia jammed UTV signals. UTV began color broadcasts in 1973, and fully transitioned to color in 1978. The channel was heavily used to spread pro-communist propaganda during the First Nesionytan War.

UTV was the sole Ulakisonian television channel until 1980, when RTVU Program Two began operations. After its launch, UTV was renamed to RTVU Program One, and in the mid-1980s, RTVU Program One was fully converted to a news and current affairs channel, with RTVU Program Two being the home of entertainment programming. The regional stations were renamed from "Channel # Location" to "Program 1 Location". It had established 36 more stations throughout Ulakisonia in the late 1980s. In August 1990, after the US invasion of Ulakisonia, RTVU Program One ceased broadcasting and was replaced with USUMI's USUMI Television Program One.

USUMI Television Program One was broadcast in both Ulakisonian and English on a twelve hour basis. During prime time hours, it had aired several Hollywood action films, most notably the. On December 1, 1990, the Ulakisonian Television name was restored, and the channel came under the ownership of Ruteliulak, but was only used for one year. On January 25, 1991, UTV was renamed to Ozuk Programa.
