The Ö÷²¥´óÐã One HD channel launches with the One Show at 7pm tonight and in a specially made short video, Danielle Nagler, the head of Ö÷²¥´óÐã HD gets access to the Ö÷²¥´óÐã One control room, from where the channels are broadcast.
It's the most reactive playout room in the world - when a news story breaks, a football match overruns or an election is called, the staff have to move extremely fast.
You can have a peep at the continuity announcer - whose voice you'll totally recognise as the 'voice of Ö÷²¥´óÐã One' but whose face you've probably never seen - rehearsing the junctions.
Watch the video on the HD website. There's also a good FAQs page for all things Ö÷²¥´óÐã One HD.
Also on the About The Ö÷²¥´óÐã blog, Joe Godwin, the director of Ö÷²¥´óÐã Children's is talking about his 20 years in children's programmes - and the mission of his department today:
"Who would have thought that one of the most popular and talked about shows on any children's channel in 2010 is about history (Horrible Histories)? Who could have imagined that the most watched drama on any children's channel is based on British books about a young girl in the care system (Tracy Beaker Returns)? And who would guess that programmes about dealing with bereavement, bullying or protecting yourself online would be getting kids across the UK talking (Newsround specials)?"
Fiona Wickham is editor of the Ö÷²¥´óÐã TV blog.
