What is ORF III?
ORF III is the culture and information channel in Austria's ORF portfolio. It gives more space to history, documentaries, arts, theatre, music, political discussion, and archive programming than the broadcaster's main general channels.
The specialist remit makes ORF III useful for viewers searching specifically for Austrian cultural and factual television.

Current stream listing
Catalogue reviewed November 3, 2026: the catalogue contains a HLS source for this channel. This is a current public catalogue listing, but the original provider can change its schedule, regional access, format, or stream location without notice.
Tele24Seven loads the streaming engine only after a viewer selects Watch live, uses a secure playback relay, and never publishes the original upstream URL on this page. A listed source is not a promise of uninterrupted or worldwide playback.
