DR1 (Denmark) 1951 - 2013

DR1 is the flagship television channel of the Danish Broadcasting Corporation. It became Denmark's first television station when it began broadcasting in 1951 – at first only for an hour a day three times a week.

DR stands for "Danmarks Radio" and known to be by that name in 1959 since it was renamed from (formerly known as) "Statsradiofonien" based on their website dr.dk, but for TV identities it was "Danmarks Radio" since its very first broadcast and no "Statsradiofonien" ident exist online (if there was, comment below or send me message).

In 1965, notice the name "Danmark TV" instead of "DR", the reason could be where King Frederick IX inaugurates TV-byen (later known as DR Byen) (video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uN6FO18oytI ), and thoughout searching online, no idents of DR were found from 1952 'til 1976 except this one again from 1965, the one with the link is from TelevisionDk, but i also found a similar clip and it has no onscreen logo (not from Youtube and i forgot to copy the link), so i grab the last one for this ident.

Though i have doubts of its genuinity in terms of DR idents or if that ident was from Danmarks Radio or maybe from government TV or whatsoever. But when i translate everything including the video description from YouTube and do some additional research, it was from Danmarks Radio. So I decided to include it as 1965.
