TW1 (Tourism and Weather 1) was an Austrian television broadcaster for the travel , culture , leisure and weather sectors based in Vienna .
history
At the beginning of the 1980s, a fixed camera was set up on the Kitzsteinhorn that captured images of the landscape of the ski area and sent them to Zell am See via the cable network , "in order to offer tourists vacationing in the valley an unprecedented service of their own weather information channel." ORF television director Ernst Wolfram Marboe initiated that these camera images from the Salzburger Land were (and still are) broadcast regularly in the morning as a weather panorama in FS2 of the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation (ORF) from 1989 onwards . This ultimately led to the idea of deepening the partnership between ORF and weather panorama producer feratel .
In 1997 the "Tourismusfernsehen GmbH" was founded, the owners were 50 percent each by Sitour Austria and ORF. The purpose of the GmbH was the operation of a Europe-wide TV station, which was named "TW1" and started operations in September of that year. ORF Salzburg state director Friedrich Urban and Sitour board member Markus Schröcksnadel were appointed managing directors, while Manuela Strihavka took over the program management.
From May 2000, ORF Sport began broadcasting live sports broadcasts twice a week for sports that were not part of the main program. These were primarily athletics, ice hockey and handball, and other fringe sports such as basketball, volleyball, American football, beach volleyball, equestrian sports and golf. This was a measure to offer the “differentiated overall program for everyone” called for in the 2001 amendment to the ORF Act, while “orienting itself towards the diversity of interests of all listeners and viewers and taking them into account in a balanced manner. The shares in the overall program must be in an appropriate ratio to one another. "(§ 4 Paragraph 2)
Since October 2005, TW1 has been 100% owned by ORF, which, however, was not allowed to use any funds from the broadcasting fees it collected to finance the station . The station was therefore not considered a public broadcaster . The legal framework was specified in accordance with Section 9 of the ORF Act. On January 1, 2010, Peter Schöber replaced Werner Mück as managing director and held this position together with Helmut Kaiser.
On October 26, 2011, ORF Sport Plus was redesigned into an independent program, TW1 was replaced by this and the culture and information program ORF III . During this phase, there were discussions as to whether culture or sport should get the already established broadcasting frequency, which was ultimately decided in favor of culture, because it had fallen behind in the previous years on ORF's mandate, and those interested in sport were judged to be the more mobile audience were. Therefore, ORF III Culture and Information is formally regarded as the successor to TW1, in terms of content it is the ORF sports specialty channel ORF Sport +. Due to delays in approval, the start of broadcasting of the successor ORF III was postponed from May 1 to October 26, 2011.
distribution
Since 1997, the program has been broadcast unencrypted via the Astra satellite on 19.2 ° East in the ORF digital package and via cable networks in German-speaking countries. At the beginning, the program was also broadcast terrestrially in analogue via the Gaisberg station for some time . Distribution via DVB-T was not legally possible, but was carried out on a test basis in Styria (Mux C).
TW1 could also be seen via an internet live stream.
program
Many broadcasts from ORF 2 were repeated in the TW1 program . But there were also programs that were only produced for TW1.
Sports (only from 2000 to 2006)
In May 2000, the ORF started a regular sports program with detailed reporting on fringe sports on this program. Both live broadcasts and magazine programs were broadcast several times a week on TW1.
Since May 2006, the sports programs were no longer broadcast on TW1, but in the form of a separate public sector program on ORF SPORT + , which shared the program slot with TW1 via Astra and Kabel until October 26, 2011. Only ORF Sport Plus was broadcast via DVB-T in Mux B, since according to the ORF Act TW1 terrestrial was not permitted. After October 26, 2011, ORF SPORT + kept the frequency via DVB-T and was converted to ORF SPORT + with a new logo, and the sports channel now broadcasts its program around the clock.
