TELEVISION DR1 DR is the first Danish TV channel. As of DR2 's introduction, it's more commonly referred to as DR1 . DR2 DR2 is the third national subscription-free TV channel in Denmark (it followed the establishment of TV 2 and its sister channel). DR2 was known in its earliest years as ''den hemmelige kanal'' ("the secret channel") because it could not be seen nationwide at its launch — a situation much ridiculed by its competitors. Its early programme content was also fairly narrow. In recent times, however, it has become one of the strongest Brands in Danish television and on several occasions gained more viewers than TV 3 . The traditional main subjects on DR2 are cultural programmes, satirical comedy, in depth news programmes, documentaries and a weekly temalørdag(theme saturday) in which a subject is described in depth. DR NEWS REPORTING '' Dansk Folkeparti '' (The Danish People's Party), a nationalistic political party, has long criticized DR's news for being unfavourable to them, attributing this partly to the political nature of appointments to the DR Board of Directors. In response, DR set up a "watchdog committee" intended to detect and report upon any anti-party bias. Not much has happened since. RELOCATION OF DR DR is in the process of moving all of its departments, including radio, tv and the various orchestras to a brand new complex for the first time, gathering all the departments in the same place. The new building, called DR Byen(The DR city), has a size of 132.000 square meters. Among other things it will - when finished in 2008 - contain a new concert building with room for 2200 people, including 1600 in the largest concert hall. EXTERNAL LINKS
