TPB1 is a online television network and the first and flagship channel of TPB. It was launched on 7 September 2011 during the launch of TiBB Big Brother 3. TPB One focuses on general entertainment, news, and lifestyle programming.

History[]

as Channel TiBB[]

The Mollie era[]

In September 2011, Maia (a member of ThisisBigBrother.com) first created TPB1 (then called Channel TiBB) as a part of her TiBB Big Brother eviction speeches. Then, Josiah Stuart had started to help out and create Channel TiBB to what it is today. After 2013, Maia had left the forum (only to return in late-May 2020) and had given her Chairperson duties to Jarrod.

Interim period[]

In the interim between Mollie and Jarrod, Josiah had full chairperson duties in addition to his content creator and programming controller duties. It was in this period that programs like TiBB Big Brother, LIVEWIRE, Veggie Brother, and TiBB Eurovision started to gain popularity amongst viewers.

Beginning of the Jarrod era[]

In mid-2013, Jarrod had gained his chairperson duties from Josiah's interim period. He then had begun hosting TiBB Big Brother in addition to his duties. It is during this time that viewership of Channel TiBB and TiBBxtra had begun to fall.

Continuation of the Jarrod era[]

In August 2015, Josiah had made an announcement that Channel TiBB and TiBBxtra had re-branded to TiBB1 and TiBB2 respectively. It had then been announced that TiBB Play would be created in order to let viewers watch the shows of TiBB1 and TiBB2 for free. The service launched in December 2015. Jøsh then begun his duties as ROBLOX Coordinator at TiBB Networks in early December 2015. The viewership of both networks has grown, as the TV from the Heart branding of TiBB1 has become popular with viewers. In early December 2015, Jarrod announced his stepping down as host and editor of TiBB Big Brother (therefore putting the show on Hiatus); after February 2016, he will then resign as Chairman of TiBB Networks giving his position to Josiah. Jøsh will still be ROBLOX Coordinator at this time, but will also become the assistant Chairman of TiBB Networks. Throughout December 2015 and January 2016; TiBB1, TiBB2, and TMIX started using the Australian Television classification system.

The beginning of the Josiah era[]

In January 2016, as TiBB1 was gearing up for its biggest year yet; it got a new music/teen oriented sister network named TMIX. Also in early February 2016, TiBB1 (in the same way that TMIX had done since launch) had replaced the classification warnings slides for programmes with the rating and details in the top left-hand corner of the screen at the start of a programme. In mid-February 2016, TiBB1 got a new logo (similar to the TiBB News logo) and a new look based off of the official "TV from the Heart" look from ITV from 1999-2002 but with the previous music. However, the new logo started being used on air in May 2016. All that would change on 1 January 2017, as TiBB1 and TiBB2 would get new looks; with TiBB1's being based off of the look of ITV since 2013.

Continuation of the Josiah era[]

The classification warning slides were finally discontinued that same day, after being used through to Christmasvision 2016 (a decision later reversed and modified). In mid-August 2017, TiBB1 was in the process of introducing new national idents with the logo being able to show up in different colours (similar to the 2002-2005 look and the current 2012-present look of Nine Network in Australia). Also introduced were new line-up graphics (with cross-channel promotion) in the style of Nine Network, 9Go!, 9Gem, and 9Life in Australia. On 20 August 2017, the classification warning slides were re-introduced for most programmes.

It was announced on 19 January 2018 that all of TiBB Networks would get a new main logo (using the eye logo indicator from TiBB News); which was to debut on TiBB News Tonight on 21 January 2018, and be first used on the date of the voting results of the TiBB Eurovision Song Contest 2018, 5 May 2018; but due to all of the TiBB1 regions praising the new look, the rebrand happened on 20 January 2018.

In February 2018, to truly expand into the French language; TiBB Networks announced that TiBB3 would be rebranded as CeBB3 (whilst receiving a red colour scheme), with the programmes originally on TiBB3 being moved to TiBB Go!; and all of the French-language programmes on TiBB1 being moved to CeBB3.

The rebrand of TiBB Networks was modified on 8 May 2018, to become more in-line with the new look of TiBB News and the TiBB News Channel; with the new TEGNA-style graphics and music on all channels.

In June 2018, about 15% of the staff for LDN (the region for London and the South-East of England) had either been fired or had quit due to the voting controversy related to the TiBB Eurovision Song Contest 2018. This meant that TiBB1 and its sister channels had received their first competitor, LNZ.

Another rebrand was planned to happen in September 2018, with the whole of TiBB Networks getting looks similar to the ones for the networks of France Télévisions; but due to multiple delays, only TiBB Networks received the rebrand. TiBB1 and CeBB3 both would have received clock idents for the first time. The rebrand was re-designed and rescheduled for November 2018, with TiBB1 being rebranded as TiBB One.

Due to TiBB Broadcast Act 109 being passed on 22 December 2019, TiBB One regained all of the French-language programming from CeBB Trois. All regional branding was removed from the channel. TiBB One would also be rebranded the next morning (on-air only) as :1. In the week before the sixth edition of the TiBB Music Festival, TiBB One received a new logo and look based off of and inspired by TV Globo. This new logo was explained as being an amalgamation of the colons, as well as the circles being a shape with only 1 side to it. The previous logo was used as a transition in the first batch of new idents. In the second batch of new idents, the idents were based off of the TV Globo "glass" idents from 2000-2007.

as TPB/TPB One/TPB1[]

With the merger of TiBB Public Broadcasting and Oi Media (and its rebranding to TiBBOi), TiBB One rebranded to TPB, including a new look and logo based off of the 2020 rebranding of CBS. In September 2021, a new flat look was launched with the intention of gaining younger viewers. In February 2022, TPB Design, tweaked the flat look and evolved it into a look similar to that of TV Globo's 2021 rebrand; the multi-coloured logos would also return with this. On 15 November 2022, coinciding with the TPB rebrand, the TPB channel was rebranded as TPB One, and gained a red coloured logo. A year later, in a graphical rebrand for the TPB channels, TPB1 regained its signature blue colour and switched to using the numeral 1.

Regions[]

In August 2015, February 2016, January 2017, and June 2017, TiBB One had launched regional programming for the entire network. Although the regional idents are only seen at the beginning of some regionally-produced programmes (co-regionally produced programmes will have the ident of the region that has the control room output for the particular programmes (i.e. Granada and The Point co-produce, whilst The Point has control room output), the endboards and other idents of TiBB1 are national. Until June 2017, Scotland and Ireland used the national branding with local continuity. By January 2018, most regions were following the Scotland and Ireland style of continuity by using the national branding with local continuity (LDN, Cymru Wales, Granada, ACT, NSW, The Point, Toronto-Ottawa, Yorkshire, and Ulster were exceptions). With the January 2018 rebrand, all regions have a custom version of the 'Welcome Home' ident; with the region's name being the first thing to be seen. In November 2018, because of reorganising most of the regions into "super-regions", the regional idents were changed to just have the super-region name shown or the generic TiBB One logo shown on the regions not reorganised. From 23 December 2019, all regional branding was removed from the channel (minus news programmes). From 19 April 2021, all regional news programmes were discontinued, ending the regions after 5 and a half years. On 18 November 2022, the regions were reintroduced in their original form (the table below lists the regions and the locations they serve).
