History
On 1 January 1993, F1 changed its name to ČT1 in Czech Republic and STV1 in Slovak Republic.[1] The channel subsequently became the first channel of the new Czech Television, created one year earlier following the Velvet Revolution. Since September 1997, the station has been broadcasting 24 hours a day.[2]
Analogue broadcasting of ČT1 ended on 30 November 2011.[3] The broadcasting of multiplex 1 (DVB-T standard) was announced in November 2019 and ended on 30 September 2020.[4][5]
Until February 2013, ČT1 HD broadcasts could also be received via Multiplex 4 of Digital Broadcasting s.r.o. However, this test broadcast was terminated.[6]
