TV One (usually referred to as One, sometimes as TV1 or TVNZ One, or by its former name Channel One) is a New Zealand national television network owned and operated by state-owned media company TVNZ. It is targeted at an older audience, compared to other major television channels in New Zealand. ONE has a broad range of programming including ONE News and Current Affairs and ONE Sport. The channel also has rights to screen sporting events live such as the Olympics (until 2008), the Commonwealth Games and the America's Cup.

On 1 April 1975, the New Zealand Broadcasting Corporation was split into 3 separate state owned corporations; Television One, Television Two and Radio New Zealand. The Avalon Television Centre in Wellington opened that day and became the headquarters of TV One. WNTV1 and DNTV2 studios were used for TV One, while AKTV2 and CHTV3 studios were used for TV2, which commenced later that year. In 1980 the two television channels merged to form Television New Zealand, with the purpose of finally providing a dividend to the Government. The merger was promised to provide 'complementary programming' for both channels.

TV One, through the name ONE Sport, currently holds rights to screen major world sporting events live such as the Commonwealth Games, America's Cup and the Olympics (although rights to the Olympics will go to SKY Television and it's free-to-air channel Prime TV after the 2008 Olympic Games). The network previously held rights to delayed coverage of Super 14 Rugby, National Provincial Championship (NPC) Rugby, Rugby World Cup, and International Test Rugby union, however these rights were lost to TV3, who subsequently lost the rights again to Prime TV.

Midsomer Murders (Also on Prime)

TV One has used numerous logos throughout its history. The original logo featured large rounded lettering, sometimes with the top half of the 'o' in the lowercase 'one' divided into rainbow colours. This was replaced after the formation of Television New Zealand in 1980, with uppercase inline lettering. The Friz Quadrata typeface and a more classical look debuted in 1987, contrasting Channel 2's more contemporary appearance and highlighting the network's appeal to more traditional and Anglophile viewers. The more familiar sans serif italic lettering, with mixed case lettering, was Launched during the 1996 Olympics, and evolved into the present style in 2003. On April 8, 2007 TV One relaunched with a new on-air graphics package, including new idents. Light Surrounding You by New Zealand band Evermore was used as the theme music, and the same logo, although with a revised colour scheme, was retained.
