It was created in 1996, after the SABC restructured its television channels. SABC 1 carried much of its programming over from the TV1 network, which was itself made up of the former TV2, TV3 and TV4 timeshared channels created in the 1980s. SABC 1 generates the widest audience in South Africa due to its programming diversity, airing SABC's longest-running soap-opera, Generations, Uzalo and Skeem Saam.
As of June 2018, the channel started broadcasting in high definition.
