ORF Sport + is an Austriansports channel owned by the public service broadcaster, ORF. The channel is available via satellite Astra 1KR, on 19.2°E, cable and DVB-T, in Austria and parts of Europe.
Before the launch of ORF Sport Plus on 1 May 2006, TW1 provided sports programming since May 2000 up until the launch of ORF Sport Plus.[citation needed]

On July 15, 2009, ORF Information Director Elmar Oberhauser announced that the channel would be discontinued in 2010 for cost reasons.[1] However, the ORF law secured the program and it is to be expanded.[2]
