History[edit]
On 15 August 2008, 1 FL TV began operation after being licensed by the Liechtenstein government under the leadership of businessman Peter Kölbel.[2][3]It broadcasts in German and is a business venture led by Austrian businesswoman Beatrix Schartl after Kölbel's death.[4]
Liechtenstein showed interest in participating in theEurovision Song Contestin 1969 and 1976. Despite this, it was not possible because at the time Liechtenstein did not have a television station based in thatcountry.If 1 FL TV becomes an active member of theEuropean Broadcasting Union,then Liechtenstein may have its national representation inEurovision.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 theEurovision Song Contest.Instead, they would concentrate on reporting in their own country.[5]
