Channel TEN will launch its 24 hour high definition channel ONE with a half hour Welcome to ONE special at 7:30pm on Thursday March 26 followed by AFL Football and Swimming Skins.
It is preceded by a “Countdown to One” from 6am.
A Richmond v Carlton game will air at 8pm local time in Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth followed by Swimming Australia Skins at Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre.
Swimming Skins will air at 8pm in Sydney and Brisbane followed by the AFL match.
In the next 24 hours ONE will screen NASCAR, BMX, Mountainbike, Motorsport and athletics.
NCAA Basketball and Formula 1 practice will screen live in all cities on Friday 27th March at varying times.
In the lead-up to ONE, the channel screens other sports including 2009 Telstra Australian Swimming Championships Heats, live NBA and NCAA Basketball.
In the days following its launch ONE offers everything from Paintball and Power Boating to Golf and World’s Strongest Man plus a 7pm half hour Sports Tonight.
For those without a HD TV or set top box, identical programming can be seen on Standard Definition on Channel 12.
The launch of ONE is the first major move by a commercial Free to Air Network as it gravitates towards a complete switch to digital television and the forthcoming Freeview platform. It will also mean the end of TEN HD and availability of other programmes in high definition.
Seven and Nine are yet to reveal details of their plans.
You can download a complete programming guide for ONE for its first week on air in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth beginning March 22 here.

this is so stupid!! No more HD shows on Channel 10 other than sports? Now I have to watch stupid SD? Pfft.
according to an article on media spy sc10 will carry one
No NASCAR, no baseball, no cricket, no rugby league, no rugby union – yet, I’ll tune in when my favs pop up
all states?????? Mate it is only in the capital cities, and last time I checked no word on Hobart or Darwin or Canberra so not even all capitals, so it is going to be broadcast in selected areas only.
good to see the afl being shown live, should be in all states though.
Only thing i hope this means is, there’ll be less interruption on the normal channel, as it will have no sport. However I don’t think that’ll be the case.
Anyone ever find out how the sport content laws work with this? Don’t they still have to show all major sporting events on normal Ten? Well until the analogue transmissions are turned off.
Thanks, I’m really looking forward to seeing how this goes for them. Glad they are going live to all states, there would be non-stop whinging if they didn’t. Only 2 weeks left
pathetic channel 10 – you have a dedicated sports channel, there is a massive game of AFL which has been talked about for months on the opening night of this new channel and you dont show it live in all states.
showing swimming in Brisbane rather than this game live – you are a joke
Hm, Interesting. If Ch1 is HD and Ch 12 will be its SD version, what is Ch 11 going to be used for? For sports as well?
I’m assuming that Ch 10 will be the same as analogue and no showing of that program in HD? That’s a shame, becuase some movies would look better in HD together with a better surround DD sound.
Just over a fortnight left until all non-sport HD content is gone from Ten.
🙁
This is advice for Channel’s 7 and 9.
Hurry up and launch your channels before the paintball dries!
so live to every state even in day light saving ???
Blazza, on Friday yes. Not Thu night as indicated.
Yes – what are SC10 doing. It surely cannot be that hard? Here on the Central Coast, I can get ONE HD from ch 10 Sydney, but the signal from SC10 Newcastle never drops out like Sydneys’ does.
Not long to go until ONE comes aroud. I’m not a fan of the AFL, but am interested to watch the ‘lesser watched sports’ like bike-riding, basketball etc. And am glad that Sports Tonight is returning to it’s own (after being reduced and combined with Ten’s Late News) on weeknights on this channel.
So just over 2 weeks to go and all I want to know is IF we in the WideBay area of QLD will get to see it???
So much for FreeView if they cut of 1000s of viewers, ch10 have had their ‘test pattern’ in the area for well over a year but we only get the main SD channel, no HD so no 24/7 sports.
Any chance the channel ONE SD will be carried on Foxtel? I have a tuner in my TV and can’t send the signal to my hard drive/PVR [?] to record!
its not going to be a threat to foxtel. foxtel will eat this mob alive
If this meant no more sport on standard def, I’d be happy. But I’m sure that is not what’s going to happen.
I heard SC10 was broadcasting the channel…I hope so I want to see some skirmish haha.
Will they be making a FoxSports style website with news and video etc to go with it? Would make sense.
“Paintball” – they must be kidding!
To my knowledge there has never been any mention of just how much programming on ONE HD will be native HD. If it’s not then it may as well be just shown on the SD channel and use the HD channel for something genuine. Of course, we know this won’t happen.
I would just like to note that regional viewers won’t get any of this programming at least till the end of the year, and, knowing SC10s abysmal record, probably not even then.
I am guessing SC10 wont be broadcasting it…………….
Hi David, any news from SC Ten about this yet?
Thanks 🙂
This channel has been a winning idea from the beginning. I’m not really into footy and most sports they play on FTA, but for sports like BMX, Mountain Biking and even skimish (!) I will be tuning in.
Good on Ten for making the move so early (3 months late?). They’ve really taken the crown by going 24 hour sports, which makes it very hard for 7/9 to compete with their second channel…
Let’s just hope Ten don’t fold in the meantime…
