oneChannel 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.

  2. What rubbish HD1 is, they dont show the AFL Pies V Crows in Victoria but show it in Adelaide, then they show 3 replays of Saints V Swans but no replay of Pies V Crows. Obviously they think not enough people would want to watch Collingwood get beaten.

  4. I really think Canberra sould be renamed Canberra a Capital of no where
    how come the Nations Capital is the last capital to get everything

    Access to ONE – joke
    oh and by the way – note to the commentators of the Grand Prix, Queanbeyan is a city in the State of New South Wales not Canberra ( the capital of no where!!)

  6. I’d watch paintball, it’s an aerobic sport,…. I’ll watch the F1’s to see what they’re like, and see if the subwoofer has the same effect in surround as the deep roar of the Nascars does,… 😉

    Can anyone tell me if Smallville or Eureka will turn up at all on Ten this year? I’m really gonna miss TenHD if they don’t show them.

    Still, don’t supose there’s much hope for any of the networks, number of times I’ve gone to watch a movie in digital only to find the cropped analog picture showing up ( T2 anyone,..)

  10. thanks for nothing.
    SC10 don’t seem to be bothered bringing one to regional areas.
    so some sports ten had on their main channel last year now move across to one and those of us in regional areas miss out
    great job ten

  11. Once again free to air TV has screwed over AFL fans in Queensland, I feel your pain Chriso. I was hoping that with the introduction of HD channels that 7 & 10 would now show AFL live into Queensland. But guess what! Thursday night’s game 11:15pm and Friday night’s game 11:30pm! How can the AFL expect to launch a second Queensland team up here when they can’t attract interest by showing the games live. We shouldn’t be forced to buy foxtel just to get our live AFL fix.

  12. i cant believe that even with a channel dedicated entirely to sports, they still managed to delay the telecast of the AFL in the sydney market. delayed in favour of a small time swimming skins event. that is so dissappointing.

    i am getting foxtel, i would rather pay and watch the games live than wait until after the stupid swimming event

    good luck channel ten, you just lost one hardcore sports fan from your potential viewing base and i imagine you are losing all other afl fans too

  13. Precisely because there is analogue channel does a sport program end up on 4 channels, because it’s popular and that analogue viewers are trying to be persuaded to switch to digital. Other than for the AFL, all other ONE programming differs from Ten in the first three days (Thu-Fri-Sat).

    Fair enough argue about HD access, but enough with the duplication argument, it’s hardly onerous

  14. Seems Anthony Hudson – one of Network Ten’s AFL commentators – will be involved in their swimming broadcast. Unsure in what capacity though. Will he have host duties, as Nine did with Ken Sutcliffe, or actually be the race-caller. I’m guessing it’s the latter and not the former.

  15. I’m guessing Canberra will miss out as we have SC10. I though it being a the capital city we would get it but I dont think it is so. What I want to know is why do they show the ads for freeview in Canberra and rural areas if we are going to have to wait maybe months longer than other capital cities.

    We have SC10 HD but there is nothing on. All my favourite show went to 10 HD like Smallville but in Canberra we dont get it on 10 HD we only get a couple of show the rest of the time it is HD ads. Come on 10 Canberra is the capital of Australia.

  17. Paull – How have 10 “gone forward” with multi-channeling when all they are really going to do is replaced there current HD channel with another one……. the actual “new channel” that was allowed from January 1st this year is actually just a SD rebroadcast….. Its a huge step back in my eye
    they should have had TenHD (like it is currently) with One Digital & Ten Digital…. then i would be applauding them….. instead i will be turning off.

    And as for the F1, the race was shown live all of last year on TenHD.

    Another whinge i have is why do they need to put the sports on all 3 of there channels at the same time….. We are going to have AFL on OneHD, One Digital & Ten Digital….. wow now thats multi-channelling.

    I do give them a pat on the back for actually doing something different but at the same time ill give them a kick up the ass for being such idiots…….. 7 & 9 can have a kick also for not doin anything at all.

  20. Why do they think there arent AFL fans in Brisy and Sydney who want to watch real footy live? Its an insult to put swimming on because they think the market for AFL isnt big enough. It is. What are they worried about, upsetting the league fans (who will be watching something else anyway!)

  21. yesterday i sent optus an email asking if TENs up coming sports channel ONE will be on available optustv, in thier reply i was told i will need a hdtv/set top box,(drrr) but that does not answer my question which is will the sd version of ONE be available through optus (appear in the epg)

    ive sent them another email explaining this and hopeful this time they will understand my question

  23. The amount of Grand Prix on this is sensational.
    Finally Channel 10 will be giving the sport the exposure it warrants from it’s thousands of Australian Fans.
    We will get the equal of anything that football or cricket fans enjoy and without the waste of money that is Foxtel.

  24. Looking at this guide, and since I’m in Perth, I’m assuming One will show live games across the country – No matter what state your in because having a look at the difference between the Perth and Sydney schedule is that there is no 2 hour delay (meaning we get the sports and Sports Tonight live, Sydney Sports tonight is at 7.00pm and for Perth it’s at 5.00pm) (Sports tonight is a prime example) F1 will also be live for perth accroding to this!!??? 🙂 If so that’s awesome!!
