history

On December 12, 2007 AUSTRIA 9 started broadcasting as an Austria-wide, private full-program broadcaster.

In November 2009, the station was completely taken over by the two shareholders Conrad Heberling and Andmann Media Holding.

A family-friendly and Austrian entertainment program was broadcast. Austrian feature films, German television films, Hollywood highlights and Hollywood classics were shown. The program was supplemented with series and sitcoms such as Will & Grace , The X Files - The Uncanny Cases of the FBI or the Bergdoktor , and various teleshopping programs. There were also magazines from all federal states, such as Ländle TV , Das Steiermark-Magazin and the Carinthian magazine "Schau rein".

In the meantime, AUSTRIA 9's market share was 1% within the target group of 12 to 49 year olds.

The number 9 in the station name stood for the nine Austrian federal states.

AUSTRIA 9 largely financed itself through television advertising and teleshopping programs. According to RTR's notification of approval, it was a full program. Classic messages were not sent, however.

In April 2012 it became known that ProSiebenSat.1 Media AG had taken over Austria 9 and wanted to realign it to Sixx Austria . On July 3, 2012, the station stopped broadcasting in favor of sixx Austria.

Technical details

At the end of 2009, AUSTRIA 9 was already reaching more than two thirds of all TV households in Austria. AUSTRIA 9 was received across Austria via cable and satellite as well as Sky (formerly Premiere) and AonTV . It is broadcast digitally via the Astra 1H satellite . The program was encrypted, but could be received at no additional cost using an ORF digital satellite card , with which the television programs of the public ORF and the private channels ATV , ATV2 and Puls 4 can be decrypted. For legal reasons, the ORF smart cards are only given to Austrian residences, but are supplied as standard with the majority of the digital satellite receivers sold there, as otherwise the reception of public television programs via satellite would not be possible. There was no terrestrial broadcast via broadcasting systems in Austria according to the DVB-T standard. The station now reaches almost 77% of all households (as of March 2011).

criticism

In January 2011, the Commission for Approval and Supervision found that two interviews originally produced for Einfach Bankhofer and used for a second time on Bibel TV represent surreptitious advertising. The Commission stated:

... In the health magazine, u. a. Experts have their say who talked about the benefits of certain products or active ingredients from whose sale they profit economically. The audience was left in the dark about these connections. The products could be seen several times and clearly recognizable in the picture.

The largely unpopular quiz and call-in programs were discontinued in the course of 2010 and replaced by further teleshopping programs .
