ORF III (ORF drei), sometimes called ORF 3 is an Austrian television channel owned by the Austrian national broadcaster, Österreichischer Rundfunk (ORF). The channel launched on 26 October 2011 at 14:00 CEST, and replaced TW1.[1]

ORF III took over the frequencies on satellite and cable from TW1, which specialised in tourism and weather. ORF III also launched on digital terrestrial television in Austria, and since 2017 is available in encrypted form on the Austrian DVB-T2 platform simpliTV [de]. Limited programming from ORF III is available to view via Internet streaming, while podcasts from ORF III are available online. ORF Sport +, the station that shared the frequency with TW1, moved to a new 24-hour slot.
