    History and profile

    TT's sponsorship for Innsbruck 2012 Youth Olympics

    TT was first published on 11 June 1945.[2] During this period Austria was ruled by the Allies following World War II.[1][3] Its foundation was supported by the French and Americans,[3] but it was under the influence of the former.[4] Later the ownership of TT was transferred to Austrians.[3]

    The German company

    Axel Springer Verlag acquired a stake of the paper in 1989[5] and had the majority stake of the paper in the 1990s.[6][7] The paper is wholly owned by the Moser Holding.[8][9][10] In 2008 the holding launched a free daily newspaper, namely TT Compact.[8][11] The publisher of TT is the Schlüssel Verlag/Moser company.[12][13]
