What OE24 does

OE24 operates Austria's leading private online news portal, oe24.at, headquartered in Vienna and founded in 2006. The company delivers 24/7 German-language coverage of Austrian politics, world news, business, sport, lifestyle, and entertainment through a multi-channel platform spanning a core website, video (oe24.TV), radio (oe24radio.at), e-paper, podcasts, and a daily print newspaper. Content production is anchored by the flagship political talk show "Fellner! Live" hosted by Wolfgang Fellner and supplemented by international content licensing partnerships such as CNN International, plus thematic sub-brands and wholly-owned magazine properties (Madonna, gesund & fit, ReiseLust, Live & Style, Cooking, Insider).

The underlying technology stack is a digital news publishing platform with video streaming and a real-time newsticker; the company has no publicly disclosed APIs, SDKs, or developer-facing integrations. Distribution is exclusively domestic to Austria with content delivered across owned and operated channels, with no mobile app presence confirmed.

The business model is a hybrid of digital and traditional media monetization. Revenue is generated primarily through display and video advertising (with publicly disclosed 2026 media data price lists including combination tariffs for print and digital), supplemented by political advertising under EU TTPA transparency requirements, recurring consumer subscriptions (E-Paper, Pur-Abo, oe24VIP), and print newspaper sales. GTM is sales-led, targeting both Austrian consumers (B2C, horizontal segmentation) and advertisers/political organizations (B2B) across SMB and enterprise tiers. The company is privately held by the Fellner family through oe24 media group GmbH, with no external institutional or PE investors evidenced.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Bild (Axel Springer): Germany's largest tabloid with a major digital platform. Comparable as a German-language mass-market, politically influential news brand with a paywall and TV extensions, though operating at much larger scale and in the broader DACH market.
• ORF (Österreichischer Rundfunk): Austria's public broadcaster with privileged funding via the GIS household fee and a dominant position in news, TV (ORF eins, ORF 2, ORF III), and digital (orf.at). Competes with OE24 for audience share and advertisers but with substantially greater resources and a public-mandate advantage.

Direct peers

• Heute (Heute GmbH): Austrian free daily newspaper and online news portal competing for similar mass-market, politically oriented Austrian audiences. Comparable as a high-reach, digital-and-print Austrian news competitor.
• Der Standard: Austrian quality daily with a leading online newsroom and subscription-based digital model (Standard+). Directly comparable as a German-language Austrian digital-first news portal monetized via subscriptions and advertising.
• Kronen Zeitung: Austria's largest tabloid newspaper with a dominant digital presence at krone.at. Directly competes with OE24 for Austrian news audiences, advertising budgets, and political ad spend, and operates a similar multi-platform media model.
• Kurier: Austrian daily newspaper with a strong digital news platform and lifestyle verticals. Directly comparable to OE24 in offering a German-language Austrian news portal with digital/print combination products and political coverage.
• Die Presse: Austrian daily newspaper owned by the Styria Media Group, with combined print and digital products. Comparable as a German-language Austrian news brand competing in the same political, business, and lifestyle coverage space.
• Puls 24 (ProSiebenSat.1 PULS 4): Austrian news streaming/TV channel and digital portal owned by ProSiebenSat.1. Directly comparable for 24-hour Austrian news video delivery and online news audience overlap with oe24.TV.

Regional players

• Kleine Zeitung: Leading Austrian regional newspaper with strong Styria and Carinthia roots and a national digital presence. Comparable as a multi-platform Austrian news outlet, though with stronger regional skew than OE24.
• n-tv (RTL Deutschland): German 24-hour news TV channel and online portal operated by RTL. Comparable as a multi-platform German-language news broadcaster competing for the same DACH audience pool that OE24 reaches with CNN video and Austrian content.
