Overview

Ländle TV is a regional television broadcaster serving Vorarlberg, the westernmost federal state of Austria. It operates a 24-hour regional programme and belongs to the international media house Russmedia. The channel's output is produced by a small team of twelve employees and fourteen freelance contributors, reflecting its character as a compact, regionally rooted operation rather than a large national network. The station's schedule is built around a rolling 24-hour loop of regional content, supplemented by teleshopping blocks in secondary broadcast slots. Its core programming includes daily and weekly formats such as "Ländle TV – Der Tag", a short daily round-up, and the weekly "Wochenmagazin Ländle TV", a roughly 30-minute magazine. The official website describes a broader slate including "DAS MAGAZIN", which reports on regional stories spanning events, customs and culture, and features series such as "LÄNDLE TALK" and "Us dr Gondel"; "LÄNDLE SPORT", covering football, ice hockey, wrestling and school sport with a weekly studio guest; and "ROTZBUA DELUXE", a satirical format hosted by Martin Weinzerl. The channel also produces "Unsere Energie – Das TV Magazin". Distribution is multi-channel. Ländle TV is carried on Vorarlberg cable networks — including Lampert Kabel, Kabel TV Rankweil, Drei Schwestern Kanal Frastanz and FSG Arlberg/Montafon — as well as on Magenta TV (channel 154) and A1 TV (channel 429) across Austria, on R9 Regionales Fernsehen Österreich, and via satellite and DVB-T2 through SimpliTV. According to Wikipedia, the programme is broadcast for two hours daily via R9. As a licensed programme provider, Ländle TV has been subject to Austrian media regulation. The media authority KommAustria issued the channel a licence (Zulassungsbescheid) dated 31 January 2013, and has reprimanded the broadcaster for repeated breaches of advertising rules, including surreptitious advertising, improperly designed event notices, unauthorised product placement in a sports item, and unlabelled sponsors in the weekly magazine. The channel positions itself as a local voice for "s'Ländle und d'Lüt" — the region and its people — combining news, sport, culture and satire aimed at a Vorarlberg audience. Its website also highlights partnerships, such as a renewed cooperation with UNIQA and Vorarlberger Schulwettkampfsport, and live coverage of regional events.

History

Ländle TV is a regional television service for Vorarlberg, Austria, and forms part of the international media house Russmedia. The channel operates as a 24-hour regional programme, with its output produced by a team of twelve employees and fourteen freelance contributors. Its licence as a programme provider was granted by the Austrian media authority KommAustria in a Zulassungsbescheid dated 31 January 2013. The station's programming model centres on a continuous 24-hour loop of regional content, supplemented by teleshopping segments in secondary broadcast slots; the scope of these teleshopping blocks has been changed several times. Core formats include the daily short news programme "Ländle TV – Der Tag" (about 10 minutes) and the weekly "Wochenmagazin Ländle TV" (about 30 minutes). The official website additionally presents a wider slate: "DAS MAGAZIN", which reports in depth on regional stories from events and customs to culture, and includes series such as "LÄNDLE TALK" and "Us dr Gondel"; "LÄNDLE SPORT", covering football, ice hockey, wrestling and school sport, with sports presenter Marc Gächter welcoming a weekly studio guest; and "ROTZBUA DELUXE", a satirical show hosted by Martin Weinzerl that comments on politics, society and pop culture. The channel also produces "Unsere Energie – Das TV Magazin". Distribution has been built across multiple platforms. Ländle TV is available on Vorarlberg cable networks — Lampert Kabel (channel 5), Kabel TV Rankweil (channel 34), Drei Schwestern Kanal Frastanz (channel 53) and FSG Arlberg (channel 22) / Montafon (channel 38) — as well as nationwide in Austria on Magenta TV (channel 154) and A1 TV (channel 429), 24 hours a day. It is also carried on R9 Regionales Fernsehen Österreich, with Wikipedia noting that the programme is broadcast for two hours daily via R9, and is distributed via satellite and DVB-T2 through SimpliTV. As a licensed broadcaster, Ländle TV has faced regulatory scrutiny. KommAustria reprimanded the programme provider for repeated violations of advertising regulations. These included surreptitious advertising in a report on a company's open day, the publication of event notices designed as advertising, unauthorised product placement in a sports item, and sponsors that were not identified in the weekly magazine. In recent activity highlighted on its website, Ländle TV extended a cooperation with UNIQA and Vorarlberger Schulwettkampfsport, and provided live coverage of regional events such as the Bockbierfest Frastanz tapping. The channel continues to position itself as a diverse regional voice for "s'Ländle und d'Lüt" — the region and its people.
