1 FL TV is Liechtenstein's first television broadcaster. It began operation on 15 August 2008 and broadcasts in German. Through cable networks, the channel is accessible to about 50,000 homes in Liechtenstein and a small portion of its neighboring Switzerland.[1] Before the channel launched, people in Liechtenstein watched Austrian and Swiss TV channels instead.
History
On 15 August 2008, 1 FL TV began operation after being licensed by the Liechtenstein government under the leadership of businessman Peter Kölbel.[2][3] It broadcasts in German and is a business venture led by Austrian businesswoman Beatrix Schartl after Kölbel's death.[4]
Liechtenstein showed interest in participating in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1969 and 1976. Despite this, it was not possible because at the time Liechtenstein did not have a television station based in that country. If 1 FL TV becomes an active member of the European Broadcasting Union, then Liechtenstein may have its national representation in Eurovision. On 9 August 2022, the managing director of 1 FL TV, Sandra Woldt, announced that the company would no longer seek EBU membership and participation in the Eurovision Song Contest. Instead, they would concentrate on reporting in their own country.[5]
