The ORF regional studios are branch offices from ORF in each state of Austria. Since 1975 there is also a regional office in and since 2021 a broadcasting TV studio in Bolzano for the German-speaking population of South Tyrol, Italy.
The regional studios produce their own state radio, broadcast in the whole state. These regional radios are in the
The regional studios also play a part in the national news and shows. For the nationwide news show Zeit im Bild, articles get sent directly to the ORF Center in Vienna, ready to be broadcast. For some shows like „Thema“ or „Der Report“, the moderator from Vienna travels to the different places in Austria, and the regional studio of the state involved only provides a camera team or equipment.
The headquarters of each regional office is always in the capital of the state, except in Vorarlberg, where the headquarters are in Dornbirn, the largest city of Vorarlberg. Even though the ORF Center is located in Vienna, Vienna also has its own independent studio, which is located in the Funkhaus Wien. Every regional office has a regional director, and all regional studios and offices were built by the same architect, Gustav Peichl, so all buildings look similar.
