On-screen presentation
Continuity
With its sister channel Ketnet, Eén was one of 21 stations in Europe to utilise in-vision
continuity presentation. Four regular staff announcers (as of January 2014) were presenting in-vision and out-of-vision links from lunchtime until around midnight or in the early hours (if necessary) each day.
The last team of announcers was composed of:
*Andrea Croonenberghs (senior announcer)
*Geena Lisa Peeters
*Eva Daeleman
*Saartje Vandendriessche
The in-vision presentation was ditched on 26 July 2015. Since that day, it is replaced by out-of-vision continuity.
Seasonal identity
As of its 2007 rebrand as één, the channel uses different
