Ö1 International is the official international broadcasting station of Austria.
Austrian Radio 1 (Ö1) is its most successful cultural radio network. The entire programme offering, with just a few changes, is broadcast worldwide as Ö1 International. This mix of information, culture, music, literature, education, science and religion reaches Austrians living abroad as well as a global audience with an interest in Austria.
Ö1 International has extended information programming in English and Spanish, in addition to the current Radio 1 line-up.
"Report from Austria", a 15 minute news and current affairs programme on the air Monday to Friday, keeps the listener up to date on what is happening in Austria with news bulletins as well as interviews and features from the world of domestic and international politics, business, culture and sports. Report from Austria has been discontinued on December 31, 2008.
According to the ORF Ö1-homepage (as of November 2009), the status of the shortwave transmissions is uncertain after December 31st 2009 (: meaning they possibly may cease to exist on shortwave after that date).
