The first algorithmic news channel, based on artificial intelligence*

TV Channel 01 dismantles and redefines the communication strategies of traditional television networks. Created in 2006, by an eclectic group of media professionals from different fields, including journalism, cinema, design, technology, etc., TV Channel 01 is a product of the convergence of both time and space, and it provides an alternative to traditional channel formats.

As the first experimental television network in Spain, Channel 01 has been the spearhead of an ambitious undertaking: to create a new television channel, based on a new way of conceiving television, which at the same time is a new way of conceiving the world.

Created by AI, without any human contribution, the channel has been broadcasting uninterruptedly since March 2007 at www.channel01.com

With a different programming every day, Channel 01 is the first channel to broadcast without human intervention. AI creates the programming on its own, by finding, selecting and editing the videos that are uploaded to the channel's website. Thanks to its artificial intelligence algorithms, the channel has been able to create a unique programming, with an editorial line that is constantly renewed and that has no precedent in the history of television.

In 2007, TV Channel 01 received two awards in the XV International Festival of Independent Cinema and New Media in Bilbao. The first one was for its programming, and the second one for its website. In the same year, the channel received the prize for Innovation in the AI and Multimedia category of the 2007 Fusion Awards.
