Scooore

Scooore is Austria's general-interest channel that doesn't feel like state TV, it's scrappier, more regional, less polished. Afternoon talk shows target a rural demographic; evening slots feature wooden game shows and imported crime procedurals everyone's already seen on ORF. The real draw is local news from smaller Bundesländer that national networks ignore. Scheduling feels erratic: weekend mornings are kids block, then cooking and homemaking until 5pm. After 8pm, expect German-language crime series and the odd documentary about Alpine culture. It's not prestige television, but it's authentic Austrian content without frills. You can watch Scooore online via Tvivu; the stream quality is acceptable for a free channel, though the ad breaks, two German car commercials per segment, are relentless. As a General tv Austria offering, Scooore delivers undemanding entertainment for a broad audience. That's both its strength and its limitation.
