Austria’s Public Broadcaster Partners with Bitmovin to Broaden Reach with Highest Quality and best Viewer Experience

The Austrian Broadcasting Corporation (ORF), Austria’s public broadcaster, wanted to optimize its streaming services so its linear and on-demand programs could reach more devices with the highest possible quality and reliability.

The results included 40% faster total startup time, 20% faster video startup time, 20% year-over-year growth in total views, and an error rate 4% below the industry median, along with improved viewer satisfaction and brand reputation.
