Background[]
1 FL TV is Liechtenstein's first television broadcaster, began operations on 15 August 2008 after receiving a government license under the leadership of businessman Peter Kölbel, and later, Austrian businesswoman Beatrix Schartl took over the venture following Kölbel's death. Although Liechtenstein had expressed interest in participating in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1969 and 1976, the lack of a domestic television station at the time prevented their involvement. With the launch of 1 FL TV, there was potential for future participation if the station became a member of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU). However, on 9 August 2022, 1 FL TV's managing director, Sandra Woldt, announced that the station would no longer pursue EBU membership or Eurovision participation, choosing instead to focus on domestic reporting.
