After the acquisition of both [[Tesvisio (Finland)|Tesvisio]] and [[Tamvisio (Finland)|Tamvisio]] in 1964, Suomen Televisio was renamed TV-ohjelma 1 alongside with the new TV-ohjelma 2 next year, and soon it was renamed again simply TV1 in 1971. Circa 2001, the channel was renamed YLE TV1 and yet again more simply Yle TV1 during the company's rebranding in 2012. The channel covers generally news, documentaries and educational programmes.
