Channel One was a television channel owned and operated by Virgin Media Television and then Sky plc. The channel was launched on 1 October 2007 at 21:00 on Freeview, Virgin Media and Sky as Virgin1, replacing Ftn. The channel broadcast 24 hours on cable, satellite and Freeview; a one-hour timeshift, Channel One +1, broadcast on cable and satellite.
BSkyB acquired the channel on 4 June 2010 and rebranded it as Channel One. On 15 September 2010, BSkyB announced that it would close Channel One and sister channels Bravo and Bravo 2. Channel One's Freeview space on the multiplex was used to launch Challenge there. Channel One closed on 1 February 2011 at 06:00. It was replaced by Sky Atlantic on Sky.
It was announced in the summer of 2007 that Virgin Media Television was to launch the new channel. The network had previously expressed their interest in running a general entertainment channel to coincide with the relaunch on NTL: Telewest to Virgin Media. At first, the company stated that all of their other channels including Ftn, would still run as normal, but because of Ftn having a key Freeview primetime slot, this was later changed.
Sometimes, I know you are walking beside me
So easy to see
I feel fine, when I am holding the lifeline
My joy is complete
Sometimes, I can be falling away
Then all I can do is pray
I need you today
Sometimes, I feel your love deep inside me
Like never before
In my time, I wanna love you completely
Forever I'm yours
Sometimes I feel that I can't go on
But somehow I know I'm wrong
With you I belong
And You are the way
You are the truth
I wanna give You the rest of my life
And You are the one
So I can be strong
There is no-one like You
