Reports coming out of Austria suggest that public broadcaster ORF is looking to find €300 million in savings over the next three years. While the broadcaster is seeking to protect programming budgets as far as possible, one likely casualty will be thematic sports channel ORF Sport +, which has been running since 2006. Streaming platform Flimmit, linear channel ORF3 and the ORF Radio Symphony Orchestra have also been suggested as areas that could be axed as ORF starts to make cuts to services.
