History
In December 1933, the Thaposian Imperial government introduced television in their country, as it was considered new to Thaposian people. 4 months later, experimental broadcasts for their first channel started. It was given no name until May 1935, it was named "ŞRT Têlævizyênim Têsti Zaştemi", meaning TRT Television Test System".

In February 14, 1939, TRT 1 started official broadcasts and was named "ŞRT Têlævizyênim". It transmits from 4pm to 8pm through Yosong. From 4pm to 5pm is news, then 5pm to 7pm is local produced basic programming, mix of children's, women's, men's, comedy, action, drama, etc. 7pm to 8pm is international programming.

In September 19, 1940, TRT 1 was forced to shut down due to World War II. All transmitters were down temporarily. In 1944, the headquarters were destroyed and 56 workers there died. In 1946, one year after WWII ended, the headquarters were reconstructed.

On April 14, 1947, TRT 1 returned to the air. It only aired news and current affairs until 1950, when TRT 2 was launched, and news programming moved there.

TRT 1 continued broadcasting general programming.

After the imperial government was replaced by a republic in 1976, TRT 1 was renamed to Channel One, and private television was legalized.
