ORF is formally a foundation under public law and as such must fulfill a number of duties and mandates laid down in the ORF Act.
Being a public service radio and television company, ORF is not profit-oriented, and invests all revenue – two-thirds of which comes from radio- and TV-licence fees, the rest from advertising and other income – directly into the programs and services it provides to its ORF audiences.
The ORF’s main headquarters and studios are located in Vienna, and the company also operates regional studios in all nine Federal Provinces and maintains a worldwide network of correspondents who contribute to its varied range of programs in all three media.
Dancing Stars 2021
The 14th season of Dancing Stars from September 24 to November 26 was produced green for the first time. Necessary journeys were shifted to public transport whenever possible or covered by e-car or e-Vespa. Flights of less than 500 kilometers were taboo. More than 80 percent of the studio lighting in the "Dancing Stars" ballroom was equipped with energy-saving LEDs. The stage elements have been used for 14 years, costumes and dresses were borrowed, worn repeatedly or came into the ORF's trove to be reused in future shows. No disposable cups, disposable tableware or coffee capsules were used around the production.
