Eén (English: one, stylized as één) is a public Dutch-speaking TV station in Belgium, owned by the VRT, which also owns Ketnet, Canvas and several radio stations. Although the channel is commercial-free, short sponsorship messages are broadcast in between some programmes.
Eén focuses on drama, entertainment, news and current affairs in a similar vein to BBC One in the United Kingdom.[original research?] The station was formally known as VRT TV1 until the current Eén branding was launched as part of a major station revamp on 21 January 2005.

As of its 2005 rebrand[citation needed] as Eén, the channel uses different idents, logos, blips and a different colour scheme every season. This seasonality concept was abolished when Eén got a new look in early 2009.
