Microphones[]
The only Channel 1 microphone show thus far was Tachibana's. A small and simplistic microphone with a thin, white handle and a purple head.
Antenna[]
Channel 1's antenna is shown in the sixth report from the second game, being one of the many antennas stolen by Purge to be used for the Ballistic Groove Gun.
Channel 1's Antenna is blue and yellow, and has the Channel 1 logo on it.
Headquarters[]
Much like Channel 42 and Channel 88, the Channel 1 headquarters were never shown in any game. It is also unknown what it looks like or where it is located.
In the cutscene prior Report 4 in Space Channel 5: Part 2, it is shown a picture of Tachibana being attacked by the Rhythm Rogues in the Channel 1. However, the picture only displays Tachibana being attacked and nothing of the station is shown.
The game doesn't state if Channel 1 studios was destroyed by the Rhythm Rogue like Channel 5 HQ after its antenna was stolen.
Due to Tachibana's experience as a reporter, and Channel 1 being existing for a long time (being the "first" space channel), it can be assumed that Channel 1 is the most well-known, serious and studious Channel around the galaxy, delivering quality programs.
