ORF – Austrian Broadcasting Corporation

The Austrian Broadcasting Corporation (ORF) is Austria’s largest media provider, operating four national television and twelve radio channels, as well as a comprehensive range of websites.

ORF is formally a foundation under public law and as such must fulfill a number of duties and mandates laid down in the ORF Act. Being a public service radio and television company, ORF is not profit-oriented, and invests all revenue – two-thirds of which comes from radio- and TV-licence fees, the rest from advertising and other income – directly into the programs and services it provides to its ORF audiences.
