IP1 (Circlia)

IP1 is a free-to-air Circlian television network owned by Tune Networks primarly aimed at an all ages audience as a subchannel of Sunset Network. The channel is unique for broadcasting content in Romanian (which isn't common in Circlian television channels) and also for only being available in satellite providers.

As it's a free to air television station, IP1 has censored a few of their shows to fit TV regulation standards.

After launching Sunset Network in 2000, Tune Networks noticed a lack of free-to-air channels that air content in Romanian. As Sunset Network was not even a month old at this point, Tune Networks pushed the project to 2001 with the codename Project Ruby.

Various broadcast tests were carried out for the channel during this time. It was hard as Tune Networks was used to making cable broadcast tests, and they've never done a free-to-air broadcast test. The signal was fuzzy, but was able to be watched without interruptions. The name was later chosen as IP1, to match the other free-to-air channels in Circlia at the time. According to Tune Networks, the name doesn't abbreviate anything.

IP1 officially started broadcasting on November 1st, 2001 with moderate success, as the channel was strangely only available in satellite providers.
