DR K is a Danish television channel from DR dedicated to culture and history.

History

Originally conceived as a channel dedicated to history, the channel was first presented in 2005 in the run up to DR's new settlement with the Danish state.[1] It would draw on DR's vast archives of Danish material. The effort would be combined with digitalizing DR's archives and launching interactive services. There would also be special channels for children, the youth and drama.[2]

When the media settlement was presented in June 2006, the plans were to launch a combined channel with children's programmes in the daytime and history programmes in the evening.[3]

The names of the new digital channels were presented in March 2009: DR K, DR Ramasjang (for children) and DR HD (A HD channel that uses DVB-T and MPEG4) together with the old DR1, DR2 and DR Update. By that time, the channel had developed into a cultural channel dedicated to the arts, history, design, fashion and fiction. The channel would get its own channel space and broadcast between 4pm and 12am.[4]

DR K premiered on 1 November 2009 and is broadcast on the digital terrestrial television network, via satellite, cable, and via online streaming.

The channel switched from SD broadcasting to 720p HD in December 2016 on the digital terrestrial television network,[5] followed by cable networks in early 2017.[6][7][8]
