Austria's public broadcaster, Österreichischer Rundfunk, has long-dominated the airwaves, but now faces growing competition from private broadcasters, particularly in Vienna. This is a relatively new phenomenon to Austria. Some German cable or satellite channels deliebrately tailor their content for Austrian audiences. The print market is mainly privately owned and fiercely competitive and popular.
Press: Newspapers are in German. The Wiener Zeitung, established in 1703, is the oldest newspaper in the world. The national daily with the largest circulation is the Neue Kronenzeitung, followed by Der Kurier, Der Standard and Die Presse. English-language newspapers and magazines are also widely available, particularly in the big cities and tourist resorts.
TV: ORF is a public broadcaster, operating national TV channels ORF1 and ORF2. There are also national commercial TV stations, available via cable and terrestrially.
Radio: There are a number of both public and commercial radio stations.
