Six hours of live radio to experience
For six hours on Saturday evening in the state studio’s audience studio, visitors were able to experience first-hand how a radio show is created. The program, moderated by program director Christoph Pöhl and presenter Gabi Kerschbaumer, featured music, anecdotes and whoops from the past hundred years. Numerous radio legends were also there and talked about their connection to radio in interviews.

Long Night of Museums in Salzburg
Between the tried and tested and the new
The crowd pullers at the ORF Long Night of Museums in Salzburg this year were once again the Hohensalzburg Fortress and its museums, the DomQuartier and the House of Nature. A museum premiere also met with great public interest: the Salzburg police department is now home to a police and gendarmerie museum. Uniforms and equipment from the past are exhibited there. In addition, there will also be special exhibitions on well-known criminal cases in the future.
Across Austria, more than 307,000 visitors were counted in the 660 participating museums.
