1LIVE

1LIVE is a radio station operated by the Westdeutscher Rundfunk public broadcasting corporation in Germany. It broadcasts a CHR format specialised in popular music. Aimed at the 14–39 age demographic, the average age of its listeners is 34.

On 1 April 1995, 1LIVE first aired. 1LIVE was intended to replace WDR 1 as a more youth centric radio station, this was because WDR1 had an ever ageing listenership.

On 1 September 2000, 1LIVE was relaunched. Between  pm and 8 pm the programming was not subdivided into different named shows but instead given the name of the day and the current hour, for example: "Eins Live - Donnerstag - Achtzehn" (translated as: "One Live - Thursday - Eighteen"). All shows broadcast after 8 PM had a name. Monday to Thursday the show was named Kultkomplex playing specialist music. On Sunday the show Heimatkult was broadcast, this introduced new bands from within the broadcasting area. On 1 November 2006, 1LIVE introduced a new logo which replaced the pink "1" numeral with the letter "I" in the "L1VE" word-mark and thus the "1" numeral was put alongside the new "LIVE" word-mark in a pink rhombus. On 5 January 2007, 1LIVE was relaunched again. From now on all shows between 5 AM and 6 PM took the host's name. Between 6pm and 8pm a new call-in-show "Der Sektor" is broadcast.

As of 2023, more than 2.5 million people listen to 1LIVE every day. Every second person under the age of 30 in 1LIVE's broadcasting area, North Rhine-Westphalia, which is named Sektor, listens to 1LIVE at least once a day.

Since 2007, shows between 5 AM and 8 PM have taken the name of their hosts, and playout is normally mainstream popular music. For the show "Plan B" 1LIVE plays a more specialist music selection. During nighttime slots there are sometimes: crime thrillers, talk, audiobooks or a documentary shows.

1LIVE diggi is a commercial-free channel broadcasting since 16 August 2004. It broadcasts a Rhythmic CHR format with electronic, dance-pop and hip hop music, comedy and news (every hour) and can be received via livestreaming, DAB+, DVB-S and DVB-C. Its music playlist is updated every week. The originally unhosted programme features hosts since 2013.

On 4 October 2006, 1LIVE Kunst, a channel that dealt with cultural topics and demanding pop music, was launched. At 3:15 pm a four-hour programme was broadcast which was repeated until next afternoon. 1LIVE Kunst could only be received via Internet Stream. 1LIVE Kunst was discontinued in 2009.

1LIVE Kunst combined alternative music with contributions produced by WDR 2, WDR 3, WDR 5 and itself.
