RADIO AUSTRIA INTERNATIONAL.

Radio Austria International was an international shortwave radio station broadcast by Osterreichischer Rundfunk (ORF), the Austrian national public broadcaster.
The station was launched in 1955 by order of the Federal Chancellery, to increase awareness of Austria in other countries. The station's headquarters and transmitters were in Moosbrunn, on the outskirts of Vienna.
In 2000, the Federal Chancellery, under the cabinet Schüssel reduced the station's budget, leading to fewer programs. This resulted in some foreign offices closing. In 2002 the Federal Chancellery ended financial support of the channel.
ORF attempted to continue broadcasts, using a new schedule, and programs being rebroadcast from national radio stations to save money. At the end of 2003, the Board of Governors made the decision due to financial reasons to discontinue broadcasts despite protests from staff and listeners.
