TéléOli Un is the main channel for TéléOli, a national, public funded French language television network for Oliverry. Since its inception, it's always been the most watched television channel in Oliverry, with about 65% of the French population watching it everyday. Its popularity is only matched by the English equivalent of the channel, OBC Television. TéléOli is mostly funded by the national government, but has to rely on advertisement, as its goal is to promote the Oliverrian national identity, which includes national companies.

Programming

News

The principal programming TéléOli carries is news. Their newscast, Les Télénouvelles are being watched as the most reliable source for French channels all around Atlantian Oceania. There are four editions of the newscast on weekdays: Les Télénouvelles Matin, which usually air at 8:00 AM, Les Télénouvelles Midi, which air at 12:00 PM, Les Télénouvelles de six heures, which air at 6:00 PM and Les Télénouvelles: Le national, which air at 10:00 PM. All these are one hour editions, excepted for the noon edition, which is a 30 minute show, so that everyone can watch it. The noon and 6:00 PM editions are usually broadcasted by local owned & operated channels, which broadcast their own news for the first half of the show.

On weekends, The morning edition isn't aired. The noon edition is still presented, but the 6:00 PM and 10:00 PM are replaced respectively by "Les Télénouvelles weekend" and "Les Télénouvelles weekend: Le soir". These are 30 minutes editions of the newscast and shows less than was shown on weekdays.

Factual & Learning

TéléOli will usually show, during the afternoon, each day, many Factual shows, such as "Découvrons notre environnement", "Écoliverry" and "Comment ça marche?". These shows attract people interested by anything.

Drama

TéléOli broadcasts, at 3:00 PM on weekdays, its only Drama show: "Kathleen", which is the most popular soap in Oliverry, as it was produced in all three official languages.

Sports

For years, they carried the show Le soccer de la première ligue, which airs twice a week: on Wednesdays and on Saturdays. It also airs [[Coupe Oliverrienne] matches as a result. Recently, TéléOli has secured the broadcasting rights for all the matches of the Oliverrian national soccer team matches, which means they also got the rights to broadcast the World Cup matches involving Oliverry.

Film

Only Oliverrian movies may be shown on TéléOli, as the law under which the channel operates strictly prohibits other movies to be shown. The movies are usually shown on Saturday and Sunday nights, when nothing else may be shown.

Entertainment

Many humour shows are aired, such as "Soirée de Rires", which has got a great success over the 60 years it has been aired weekly. Another popular entertainment show is "Marie et Jean se promène au Hockey Canada", where Hockey Canada is stereotyped. Prior versions of the show included "Marie et Jean en Starblaydie" and "Marie et Jean aux États Unifiés Capitaliztes". Other shows include "Génies du savoir", a quiz show and "Le renard et sa guitare", a weekly show where musicians are presented each week.

Current affairs

Current affairs shows are usually aired on weekdays, excepted Wednesday night. They include "La politique cette semaine", "Crimes et désastres" and "Résumés de l'assemblée nationale" where the daily debates are summarized.

History

Early years (1946-1960)

The first thing the Société de Radio et Télédiffusion d'Oliverry (SRTO) brodcasted was a presidential address to the nation to which it told everyone how can television change the world. Then, it switched to the first ever edition of "Les télénouvelles". Oliverry had about 2,500 television receivers at the time, and SRTO was the only channel available.

In 1952, SRTO was holding committees to inquire about whether or not Colour TV would be profitable in this time, to which the committee answered no. But, at the time, SRTO already had opened the "Centre de la télédiffusion Oliverrienne", which opened on March 1st 1950, and had ultra-modernous technology.

In 1958, the government of Oliverry was proposing to the Oliverrian citizens to give them back about 50% of the price of a new colour TV receiver if they already had another TV, with proofs. It proved to be a real success, as everybody was rushing to get one. Finally, SRTO announced that, on July 1st 1960, it would launch colour TV programming.

Colour TV (1960-1965)

The launch of colour TV, on July 1st 1960, was a real success. Once again, it was launched with a presidential address explaining how colour TV would change the world. Then, "Les télénouvelles" aired for the first time in colour. Colour TV permitted many changes in Oliverry. All the shows were better, quality improved, and commentators started to speak to everyone in a less formal way, even cursing at times.

SRTO nearly disappeared from Oliverry, as only 1% of its original funding was left in 1964, after the English Party president gave all the founding to the National Television Consortium. After the Liberal Party was taken back to power, they gave all the funding back to SRTO, which didn't disappear.

Competition (1965-1975)

A new TV channel was founded in Oliverry on September 12th 1965: Système de Télédiffusion Indépendante, or STI, which still exists to this day. The channel promoted a programming aimed at young adults (18-35 years-old), which made the SRTO's rating drop by 75% after a year. SRTO felt the need to modernize their infrastructures, so they decided to launch a completely new identity on January 1st 1967, when they adopted a multicolour identity, known popularly as the "Hippie ident", which lasted until the mid-70s. Many programs aimed at young people were aired, such as "Le hockey Oliverrien", which showed Oliverrian Hockey League hockey and historical facts about it. The ratings went high, but never have been higher than STI's until the 1990s.

Computer-generated graphics (1975-2000)

Until 1975, all graphics were hand drawn or done mechanically (The famous "Hippie ident" was a camera and a rotative cartoon which showed a colour pattern turn with an unmoving SRTO writing in the middle). But the advent of new technologies and, especially, computers, made the job easier for the artists, which only had to colour things. So, on June 1st 1975, the first computer-generated identity was created, which showed SRTO on a space background.

In 1987, SRTO went under another move and changed the Television division's name into TéléOli. A new identity was done, which showed a SRTO logo being demolished by a wrecking ball and two hands moving to place the new TéléOli logo on the wall. In 1988, a variant was created with a TéléOli logo being "thrown" on a wall, which made the wall crackle all around it. In 1990, the channel attempted a big move in broadcasting the matches of the Ligue Oliverrienne de Soccer, which had no exposure at the time. The move worked, which makes that, today, TéléOli shows more soccer than hockey.

In 1995, to prepare for the 50 years of television in Oliverry, TéléOli asked the people what was their favourite identity of the channel. People answered with a massive majority of 70% that they loved the "Hippie ident" of the late 60s-debut 70s. So, in 1996, TéléOli showed an updated, animated and 3D version of the hippie ident, with TéléOli's logo instead of the SRTO's. The slogan then was "TéléOli: Célébrez 50 ans de télévision avec nous!"

In 1997, the hippie ident was removed and replaced by an all new Green and Red ident with the new logo, which looked almost childish. Many child programs were presented on Saturday and Sunday mornings, which was used as an excuse for that new logo.

The 21st Century: High-Definition TV

In 2000, the choice to move to High-definition TV had been done. So, in 2006, all programming was to be done in HDTV, excepted for an analog, sized-down version of the HDTV feed.

In 2012, with the modification of the flag, a new ident and logo were launched, inspired by the "Hippie ident". These were popular once again and loved by the population, especially the older people who remembered them.

In 2031, TéléOli underwent a new change, albeit little. A new ident was done, which, while inspired by the hippie ident, was done mainly in Blue, white and Orange. This one was not liked in the population, but lasted 9 years.

In 2040, TéléOli launched a completely new identity, based on blue. The idents would show the TéléOli's logo on a sky and still display the network's slogan. The sky would be black or blue whether it was day or night, so two different idents were used. These, while not inspired by the hippie ident, are liked by viewers.

The split: TéléOli Un, deux et trois

In 2043, SRTO decided to specialise TéléOli. As such, Chairman Bertrand Lamothe took the decision to create two new channels, dubbed TéléOli deux and TéléOli trois. The already existing channel was to be rechristened TéléOli un. TéléOli deux's first air time was on July 1st, 2044. TéléOli trois had to wait until May 2047 to be launched, due to technical problems.
