Italy: South TyrolOwner ORF Launch date 1. October 1967 Official website oe3.orf.at Hitradio Ö3 is one of the national radio stations of Austria's state-run broadcaster ORF.
The station focuses on contemporary music. Until 1995 its schedules included many specialist music shows, but following a reorganization of ORF's channels shortly before the introduction in Austria of private commercial radio, these have now been moved to FM4.
Ö3 was for a long time the only ORF station permitted to broadcast commercials, and it remains the station with the largest amount of advertising time per day. For this reason it is often called "ORF's cash cow". Ö3 has the biggest market share by far (averaging 32%) of all Austrian radio stations, more than all private radio stations together.
The station also broadcasts via satellite television, with a display showing the previous, current and upcoming tracks, the time. and other information such as traffic reports.
