ORF eins

One ORF (until 1991: FS1; between 1992 and 8th January 2011 ORF 1 ) is the first television program of the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation ( ORF).

Program

The station is a 24 - hour full program puts in contrast to ORF 2 but an emphasis on movies and series. ORF one has a much younger target audience than ORF 2, so will the children's program of the ORF, okidoki broadcast on ORF one. Furthermore, sports broadcasts of the ORF for the general public (skiing, Formula 1, football ) are usually transferred to one ORF. The ORF has for many sports the exclusive broadcast rights for Austria, the Treaty on the Formula 1 has been extended until at least 2014 around April 2011. Most sporting events are annotated for the visually impaired bilingual.

The message format time was in the picture on display until April 9, 2007 in parallel on one ORF and ORF 2, from 10 April it was replaced on ORF 1, however, by Daily soaps. As a replacement for the time in the picture a news magazine called ZIB 20 aired from 20:00 clock. On the former time slot of the time in the image can be seen with Dominic Heinzl since 11 January 2010 a Society format (" Backstage ", " chili "). In addition to broadcast several times daily under the title ZiB Flash message blocks.

The highlights of the program (drama ), called the ORF one Primetime are often programmed in parallel to the air waves on German private and public broadcasters. During the interruption of program parts with advertising in the German private television is common, limited the ORF - apart from program sponsorship - advertising breaks on major sporting events, very rarely appears in movies without interruption advertising for telephone sweepstakes. Thus, ORF pleased one also especially for those viewers from Germany, the ORF programs can receive great popularity.

One ORF is difficult to compare the first with the German television station, on the one hand, the second public television channel ORF 2 is recorded in contrast to the situation in Germany from the same TV station and a regional third channel is missing. On the other hand, occur due to the spread in the cable TV and free to air satellite channels, especially the large German private broadcasters as competitors within Austria forth. Conversely, lack the ORF by encrypting its satellite TV on the remaining German-speaking market ( since 1998). ORF one therefore has positioned itself as an Austrian mainstream media and rarely ventured experiments.
