record numbers in January

In particular, the spectacular ski events from Kitzbühel and Schladming raised great demand, and the four-hill tour and popular shows such as "Bergdoktor" also ensured high ratings, such as ORF determined. ORF 1 and ORF 2 thus gave a strong overall picture with a 37.5 percent market share in the main time and a particularly high demand in the younger target groups.
The live streams of the ORF offers achieved record values in January with a total of 19.5 million net views and 579 million minutes overall use. The big winter sports events also inspired online, which shows that not only the TV viewers, but also the digital audience is very committed.
