ORF Sport

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ORF Sport is the name given to sports broadcasts by the public Austrian broadcaster ORF . In addition to compact information on domestic and international sporting events, there is live broadcasts , but also magazines and programs that have already been recorded, as well as repetitions of sports programs.

According to § 4 of the ORF Law (ORF-G) it is part of the core mandate - addressed to the special-interest program as well as the ORF main program - that the ORF Sport through its programs for "promoting the interest of the population in active sporting activity " belongs has to worry (para. 1 line 15), thus follows the general educational mandate of the ORF.

Development of the ORF sports program

The pioneering years

Sports reporting itself has a long tradition in Austria; The pioneer is the Viennese Victor Silberer , who founded the Allgemeine Sport-Zeitung around 1880 as the first German-language specialist medium for sport. In Austria, RAVAG, founded in 1924 (forerunner of ORF founded in 1958), began broadcasting regular sports reports in 1928, at the time using portable shortwave transmitters. By Willy Schmieger commented radio broadcast of the soccer international between Austria-Hungary this year had already reached 10,000 listeners, and the match Wiener Hockey Association - Cambridge University shortly afterwards was the first live broadcast of the Austrian radio history.

Sports reporting has been one of the core activities of broadcasting with its timeliness from the beginning, and the most popular activities of the ORF. Originally, sport remained the domain of radio and was featured on the national information, culture, education and sport program Austria 1 . He gradually came onto television in the course of the 1950s and 1960s ( soccer World Cup 1954 from Switzerland, first live broadcast Austria – Brazil in Vienna, 1956 ). Anchormen of the live reporting on ORF were Edi Finger  (senior), who commented from 1946 to the 1980s (primarily football), 1965 to 2008 Heinz Prüller (Formula 1 races, since 1970 also Alpine World Ski Championships, Soccer World Championships and Olympic Games) and also Sigi Bergmann (boxing), whose comments were the epitome of a sports broadcast for generations of Austrians. In the 1960s there was a real sports boom on television, with the winter games in Innsbruck in 1964 as a landmark, in 1968 sports reporting had a share of one seventh (14.7%) of the broadcasting time (ORF 2 itself recently started, both not in the 24th -Hour operation). With the fog slalom in Grenoble ( Winter Games 1968 ) - Karl Schranz was disqualified at the time - and the complete disqualification of the same in Sapporo in 1972 , the sport then caused the first media-transported scandal in the public of the young Second Republic. The public sports report received political support in particular with Fred Sinowatz , who appeared in the 1970s as "Minister of Sports" and then set up the Ministry of Sports as an explicit department as Chancellor in 1984 (today part of the Ministry of Defense).

The ORF in the field of tension of the commercialization of sport

For many years there was then the division in Austria that sports programs were brought to ORF 1 (today ORF one). In terms of the program scheme, this was more broadly effective and designed for a tendentially younger audience, while ORF 2 performed the cultural mandate of state television. Gradually, the presence and positioning of sport was also seen as a major problem, as especially on the weekend on ORF 1, the morning was occupied with children's and youth programs and the afternoon with sport. This made weekend television unattractive for those not interested in sports. Originally a question of everyday life for viewers, this one-sidedness increasingly became an economic disadvantage for the ORF itself with the advent of private broadcasters .

Another point of criticism was that the short broadcasting time for the entire sports world in the ORF Sport window was then primarily occupied with football , in the winter season with alpine skiing , which is important for Austria , and with Formula 1 . In phases, other more broad-based events of particular national interest ( e.g. the cycling tour of Austria , tennis in the 1990s in Thomas Muster's era , or Nordic sports such as ski jumping in the 2000s) had to be added. Olympiads and big world championships blocked the rest of the program completely and were then partly pushed into ORF 2, so that the normal broadcasting schedule failed for weeks, sometimes even neglecting the cultural mission, for example with children's and youth programs at morning events. All other sports, in particular fringe sports , are largely disregarded. This, too, was far from doing justice to the changed scheduling of sporting events, as well as the interest in emerging sports: When private special-interest sports broadcasters began to dominate the market for broadcasting rights, international events were increasingly assigned to the best broadcasting slots ( prime time ). pushed. For example, popular sports became attractive with running (e.g. in the Vienna City Marathon ), and the emergence of new trend sports and fun sports - and especially those in the snowboard sector in winter sports , which also fundamentally changed Austrian winter tourism for the economy as a whole - were largely overlooked.

Due to the immensely increased costs, for example for broadcasting rights and the increasing demands for self-financing by state-owned companies, as well as because the children's and youth programs were kept as free of advertising as possible, the ORF was almost forced to put culture on bad broadcast dates, and the (in addition to entertainment ) to place profitable sports broadcasts on the best broadcasting slots through advertisements, and at the same time to concentrate on a few highly popular - and telegenic - sports. Contrary to the perceived presence, sports television (before the creation of the special-interest channel) took up a comparatively astonishingly small proportion of the total program offer, for example in 2006 - despite the football World Cup that took place in June of that year - only 6.6% (on ORF 1 and ORF 2 a total of 7573 hours / 42.6% entertainment program, 3820 hours / 21.5% information broadcasts, 1179 hours of sports). The share of editorial sports broadcasts was much lower, at around 0.8% of the total broadcast time. However, sport is consistently on good broadcasting times, the audience numbers are different. Individual sporting events are among the most watched programs of all (but in Austria they still remain in the context of other topics such as politics and entertainment).

In 2000, the ORF was already considered to be fundamentally out of date - especially in sports reporting - and was not competitive either with the private broadcasters with their better range of disciplines or the migration of the educationally-oriented classes as well as the young audience to the Internet with its much broader and more up-to-date range. The ORF law amendment of 2001 then explicitly demanded from the ORF "in fulfillment of its mandate [...] to offer a differentiated overall program of information, culture, entertainment and sport for everyone," and "to take into account the diversity of interests of all listeners and To orient the visionaries and to consider them in a balanced way. The proportions of the overall program must be in an appropriate relationship to one another. ”(Section 4 (2)) In 2005, ORF took over the tourism and weather channel TW1 , on which various live broadcasts and fringe sports have been presented since 2000. However, he was not allowed to finance it or use it for the culture contract. The radio program Ö1 had already been converted into a pure cultural channel in the course of the 1980s and 1990s, and sport was broadcast on Ö3 (originally the youth culture channel) - but since the 2000s, purely acoustic live broadcasts of sporting events have no longer played an important role.

It was not until the major reform of 2006 that TW1 was converted into the culture and information program ORF III , and a new special-interest channel, ORF Sport + , created especially for sport . This was supposed to be discontinued in 2009, but funding was secured through a reform of the ORF law, and the station has been offered as a 24-hour program since 2011. Here, a balanced coverage of many sports could be achieved, while in OFR 1 the "Top 4" Formula 1 and football in summer, alpine skiing and ski jumping in winter continued to dominate.

At the same time, the question of the internet presence of a public service broadcaster was settled, and the ORF's online presence was consolidated and expanded with regard to sport.

Since then, sport on the main channel has been limited to short overview programs between Zeit im Bild (ZIB) and 8:15 p.m., initially following the old tradition on ORF 1, parallel to the side views on ORF 2, but since 2007 as sport current (7:55 p.m. - 20:05) in front of the side views on ORF 2, while the ZIB 20 is on ORF 1. In addition, live airtime is primarily released on ORF 1 for major major events.

Sporty co-commentators

Former competitive athletes who act as co-commentators for ORF play an important role in the commentary. They liven up the reporting, bring their insider knowledge of the scene and technical knowledge to the table, and create more precise analyzes. Eva Pawlik , who from 1963 onwards became the first woman to comment on the major international figure skating competitions (including the freestyle of Emmerich Danzer, as a sports commentator of one of her successors) for the ORF, and Ingrid have an exceptional position in ORF history Wendl , who from 1973 (until 2000), also in the tradition of the first footballers as a radio announcer, commented on the figure skating championships partly alone, partly with Emmerich Danzer (and was otherwise active on television). The tradition of the commentator duo originally comes from the USA, it began in Austria in skiing in the early 1980s, whereby active athletes were explicitly called in, namely Ulrich (Uli) Spieß (during an injury break). In the 1990s, the first generation, for whom “media suitability” and self-marketing had already been part of the basic ÖSV training as young athletes, ended their careers, and some switched to part-time work at ORF. Today the role of co-commentator for Austrian top athletes is an important possible professional activity "afterwards", especially in winter sports for other domestic and foreign broadcasters. The concept of combining professional sports reporters and ex-active members as co-commentators has meanwhile become standard in many sports on ORF.

The best-known of these athletes is Armin Assinger (Alpine Skiing Speed ​​since 1995), who says of himself that he “has more talent for television than skiing” and made a career as an entertainment presenter on the millionaire show. Elisabeth (Lisi) Kirchler (ski women from 1990) also belonged to this first generation of regular co-commentators . Further commentators are or were, for example, Thomas Sykora (since 2000, alpine skiing slalom women and men), Markus Gandler and Alois Stadlober (both cross-country skiing, since the early 2000s), Mario Reiter (alpine skiing technically 2002-2009), Hans Knauß ( Alpine skiing speed men, since 2005), Andreas (Andi) Goldberger and Martin Koch (both ski jumping, since 2005 and 2014 respectively), Alexandra Meissnitzer (Alpine skiing women, since 2008), Nicole Hosp (alpine skiing women, since 2016) , Alexander Antonitsch (tennis, until 2013), Alexander Wurz (Formula 1, since 2008)

Award

The sports reporters were given their own category of the most popular sports presenter at the Romy TV Prize : 1990 Wendl , 1991 Weiss , 1992 Bergmann , 1993 Huber , 1994 Bergmann, 1995 Prüller , 1996 Weiss, 1997 Seeger , 1998 Assinger (special prize from the jury, category not awarded, same 1999), 2000 Assinger, 2001 Assinger, 2002 Assinger. The category has not existed since then, but in 2014 the duo Hausleitner / Wurz received the Romy in the general category Most Popular Moderator - Information . Melchert also received the Romy Best Director in 2004 .
