'''Channel One''' ({{lang-rus|Первый канал|r=Pervyy kanal|p=ˈpʲervɨj kɐˈnal|t=First Channel}}) is the first television channel to broadcast in the ]. Its headquarters are located at ] near the ] in Moscow.

First among Russia's country-wide channels, Channel One has more than 250 million viewers worldwide.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.imediadistribution.com/news/partner-network-month-channel-one-russia|title=Partner Network of the Month: Channel One Russia|publisher=]|access-date=18 September 2013|archive-date=21 January 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140121045622/http://www.imediadistribution.com/news/partner-network-month-channel-one-russia|url-status=dead}}</ref>

From April 1995 to September 2002, the channel was known as '''Public Russian Television''' ({{lang-rus|Общественное Российское Телевидение|r=Obshchestvennoye Rossiyskoye Televideniye}}, '''ORT''').<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ortv.ru/ |title=Home Page ORT (English) |date=19 April 1997 |access-date=4 May 2016 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19970419163916/http://www.ortv.ru/ |archive-date=19 April 1997 }}</ref>

== History ==
{{For|the history of this channel before 1991|Television in the Soviet Union|Soviet Central Television}}

When the ] was abolished, the ] took over most of its structures and institutions. One of the first acts of ]'s new government was his signing of a ] on 27 December 1991, providing for Russian jurisdiction over the central television system. The 'All-Union State TV and Radio Company' (]) was transformed into the 'Russian State TV and Radio Company Ostankino'.

A presidential decree of 30 November 1994 transformed Ostankino into a ], '''Russian Public TV''' (Obshchestvennoe Rossiyskoye Televidenie or ORT). The shares were distributed between state agencies (51%) and private shareholders, including numerous banks (49%). The partial privatization was inspired by the intolerable financial situation of Ostankino owing to huge transmission costs and a bloated payroll (total staff of about 10,000 in early 1995).

Following the ], the channel obtained a government loan of $100 million from state-controlled ] ].<ref>''Television in the Russian Federation: Organisational Structure, Program Production and Audience''</ref> Also in 1998, the closed joint stock company was transformed into an open stock company. However, controlling votes on the board of directors remained in the hands of structures linked to then-Kremlin-connected businessman Boris Berezovsky. Thanks to this state of affairs, Berezovsky was able to preserve control over the channel's cash flows as well as over its editorial line until 2002.

From 1 April 1995 to late 2002, the channel was called '''ORT''' (ОРТ—Общественное Российское Телевидение, ''Obshchestvennoye Rossiyskoye Televideniye''; Public Russian Television). It maintained the traditional programs and shows of the First Channel of the Soviet Television (RTO), such as '']'', '']'', '']'', '']'' and '']''; the last two are no longer on the air of this channel.

==Broadcasting==
The main broadcasting center is in Ostankino tower, Moscow. In September 2008 the channel installed new digital audio mixing systems in their new state-of-the-art broadcast complex located in the Ostankino Television Technical Centre in Moscow. The new Channel One news facility opened in March 2008 and features advanced server technology with equipment from the world's leading television equipment manufacturers such as Thomson, EVS, and HP. Spearheading the transition of the renovated news facilities was Okno TV.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.avid.com/US/about-avid/customer-stories/Channel-One-News|title=Avid – Channel One News|access-date=31 May 2015}}</ref> Channel One began broadcasting a ] ] signal on 24 December 2012.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.1tv.ru/conf/357 |title=Вещание в HD, онлайн-чат с Алексеем Ефимовым |access-date=31 May 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150507133013/http://www.1tv.ru/conf/357 |archive-date=7 May 2015 }}</ref>

Accessed 23 April 2008.</ref> Soon after Berezovsky's withdrawal, the new ownership changed the channel's name to Pervy Kanal (Channel One). Konstantin Ernst remains as general director. As of 2008, Channel One's minority shares are held by three little-known companies namely ORT-KB, Eberlink2002 and Rastrkom-2002. Their parent companies are domiciled in Panama and Seychelles and are managed by Evrofinans Group. The ultimate owner is still believed to be ] who also controls the Video International advertising agency, the exclusive media seller of Channel One.

Russian television media in the Putin era have been criticised for the pro-government bias.<ref>For example, see ''Index on Censorship'' Volume 37, Number 1, 2008, issue entitled "How Free is the Russian Media?"</ref> The critics charge that Channel One's news and information programs are frequently used for propaganda purposes. These critics contend that Channel One airs a disproportionate number of stories focusing on positive aspects of official government policy, while largely neglecting certain controversial topics such as war in ] or social problems. In addition, some have argued that the station's news reports often blur the line between factual reporting and editorial commentary, especially when broadcasting stories concerning ] policies or goals. For example, during the ]s, many political observers believe the Russian government actively supported the candidacy of then Ukrainian Prime-minister ] over that of ]. In a 13 October 2004 news story, Channel One reporter Natalya Kondratyuk declared that "the Premier , as a candidate, is adding to his ratings by working on the economy and by solving current social problems; he does not use slogans; he is not criticizing his opponent; and he is not creating scandals. Yushchenko’s style of campaigning is diametrically opposite."

In another controversial example, on a 23 January 2005 broadcast, in the midst of widespread protests against a new reform of Russia's social benefits system (L'goty), a Channel One anchor opined, "you can understand, and should understand, those who went out on the streets, but you also have to understand that the old system has completely outlived its use." Later, in the same story, a reporter characterized those protesting against the reforms as political opportunists, adding, "criticizing the reform is good PR." A few days later, on 27 January 2005, as the protests continued across Russia, a Channel One reporter noted, "You can understand the elderly repealing free fares was the last hope for public transport."

Similarly, on a 12 February 2005 broadcast, a Channel One anchor declared, "The key question of the week has been: how are Presidents Saakashvili]] ]<nowiki>]</nowiki>) and Yushchenko ]<nowiki>]</nowiki> different? At first, it seemed the difference was only in their appearance, in all other ways, they were like characters from the film '']'' for us." Critics of Channel One news argue that hundreds of similar examples exist where station news reporters and anchors insert editorial commentary into news reports, almost always to commend perceived allies of ] or criticize perceived enemies.

As of 2006, ], ], Petr Tolstoy and ] are among the most prominent political journalists of the channel.
