History
WinTV 1 was launched on January 1, 1961 as Winland, a news channel, and it only broadcast between 6pm to 10pm. Longer transmissions were only available during national emergencies.

In 1970, Winland was renamed to Winland TV.

In 1977, the broadcast hours were increased to 6am-10pm and the channel started broadcasting French programs from 11am to 3pm.

A year later, Winland TV 2 was launched, so this was renamed to Winland TV 1.

Also since that year, Winland TV 1 started broadcasting FIFA World Cups, receiving high audience from people of all ages.

In 1984, the channel stopped focusing on news and became a variety channel like its sister. The news program was broadcast between 7pm and 9pm.

A year later, Winland TV 1 adopted the slogan "The television you need".

In 1996, the channel started broadcasting 24 hours a day.

In 2011, Winland TV 1 started broadcasting 16:9 on some programs.

4 years later, Winland TV 1 was renamed to WinTV 1 and received a new logo. Full 16:9 and HD transmissions were launched a bit later.

In 2016, WinTV 1 stopped its SD transmission, becoming available exclusively in HD until 2019 when the channel started its 4K transmission.
