ORF?
What does that translate to in English?
CNN? ABC? CBS? NBC? FOX?
Same playbook regardless of country.
I swear this and most of the other ‘news’ organizations’ staging of stories sounds like a Peter Sellers’ movie.
ORF is state-run (tax-payer funded) TV....having been around since 1955.
What one can generally say about most European countries is that they all started with tax-payer funded state TV and most all started in the 1970s allowing private or commercialized TV to exist. Austria was different...ORF and the state-TV mafia fought off private TV networks until the late 1990s.
If you asked me to describe ORF....it’d be some cross-between of NPR, Nat’l Geographic, documentary-based programming, intellectual TV, and crime-drama entertainment....with occasional concerts for the youthful audience. For anyone under the age of twenty-five....it’s non-existent and most are moving toward streaming TV (Amazon, Netflix, etc).
