History
Television was first introduced in Weefistan in 1961. VÉR launched its first television station, VÉR TV, on June 30 on the same year. It only broadcast two hours during its first days, but was expanded to five hours in 1963. It was renamed to VÉRT TV, after the company itself was rebranded to VÉRT.

VÉRT ran the television monopoly until 1969, with the launch of Prisma TV, the country's first commercial television channel. VÉRT TV started to lose ratings, so they started to air programming imported from the Western world and the Soviet Union, but still lost to Prisma TV for their soap operas.

After Prisma TV introduced color in 1973, VÉRT did the same in 1975, by starting experimental color broadcasts. Full-time color broadcasts started in 1981, when color television was widespread around Dram Khaam during the late 1970s.

On January 1, 1980, VÉRT TV was renamed to VÉRT 1, to differentiate itself with its sister, VÉRT TV2 (renamed to VÉRT 2 on the same day), which was launched a year ago.

In 1991, Prisma TV was shut down due to bankruptcy. Once again, VÉRT 1 took the number one spot as the most popular channel in Weefistan.
