1 FL TV is Liechtenstein 's first television broadcaster. It began operation on 15 August 2008 and broadcasts in German .

History [ edit ]

On 15 August 2008, 1 FL TV began operation after being licensed by the Liechtenstein government under the leadership of businessman Peter Kolbel. ^[2]^[3] It broadcasts in German and is a business venture led by Austrian businesswoman Beatrix Schartl after Kolbel'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]
