Sports associations are demanding receipt of ORF Sport +

Austria’s sports scene has been on the move after the planned discontinuation of the special interest channel ORF Sport + as a linear TV channel. According to the broadcast, the ASKÖ executive committee unanimously passed a resolution in a meeting on Tuesday, according to which vehement protests were made on behalf of all member clubs and athletes against the cessation of ORF Sport +.

“We call for an immediate round table with the involvement of Sport Austria with Chancellor Nehammer, Minister of Sport Kogler, Minister of Media Raab and ORF Director General Weißmann, in which a solution for the continued existence of the ORF special interest channel Sport + is found.”

It was said that a few million euros could not fail to endanger the existence of many sports and clubs that need an advertising presence. Sport Austria wants to determine a course of action in an extraordinary executive committee meeting on Thursday.
