Österreichischer Rundfunk (ORF), also known as the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation, is Austria's national public broadcaster established in 1955. It is a state-owned entity with approximately 1060 employees and generated revenue of around $1 billion in 2023. ORF's primary offering is broadcast television and radio programming. Its funding comes from a combination of television license fees and advertising revenue. ORF holds a dominant position in the Austrian broadcast media market, a position solidified by Austria's relatively late adoption of nationwide private television broadcasting compared to other continental European countries.
