BBC ONE or BBC1, the oldest television station in the world is broadcast by the British Broadcasting Corporation in the United Kingdom. The channel first broadcast on November 2 1936 and had a monopoly until ITV began in 1955.

BBC1 is more mainstream than its sister station BBC2 and generally gets higher ratings. The BBC's sport and news have their homes here, as do Children's BBC and soap opera Eastenders. Regional news programmes generally follow the main news, in particular the Six O'clock News is followed at 6:30 by half-hour regional news shows. Popular shows from BBC2 may make the crossover to BBC1, Have I Got News For You being an example.
