From June 1, the first channel switches to the 16: 9 broadcast format.

In 16: 9 format, the first can be watched by those who have a modern TV and who receive a signal from a satellite or with a digital cable receiver. Those who receive a signal using a conventional antenna or cable will watch the TV channel in an adapted 14: 9 format. Those who own old TVs will not feel any changes from the format change, they promise on the First one.

The first step in this direction was made at the end of 2003, when Channel One introduced broadcasting with stereo sound. Innovation is best appreciated by owners of flat-screen (plasma and liquid crystal) widescreen TVs, designed just for the new format. Statistics show that the number of widescreen TVs sold in the country over the past three years has already exceeded the number of obsolete receivers with a 4: 3 screen and that the last in the coming years will be finally driven out of the market.
