RT1 is a free-to-air general entertainment channel launched on May 21, 2017, owned by o_Blyzo originally under his company RTC. It is now owned by Box.
History[]
RT1 was originally launched on May 21, 2017 as part of RTC, a new company opened by o_Blyzo as his most recent attempt at multi-channel expansion. RT1 was originally a generalist channel.
On June 16, 2017, RT1 was acquired by WeepinnWillow's Lava Lamp Entertainment. Under LLE's ownership, RT1 (and sister channel RT2) were operated as premium movies and series channels, intending to compete with Blox and Blox Flickz (now a single channel as Blox Premium). On June 11, 2018, after a lot of discussion between WeepinnWillow and o_Blyzo, RTC was reacquired by o_Blyzo, to be incorporated into his other current company, Box., of which what remains of RTC is now a subsidiary. RT1 returned to a generalist format upon its reacquisition.
On May 25, 2019, an updated logo was revealed, as part of a restructuring and rebranding of Box's sister channels. Unlike it's counterpart RT2 however, the feed for RT1 has not been updated with the new logo yet.
Not much else is now known about the channel, apart from a 24/7 feed currently exists for the channel on Viloud, and it is currently broadcasting a generic loop with the RT1 logo on it.
