== Media == {{See also|List of newspapers in Liechtenstein}} The primary [[internet service provider]] and [[mobile network operator]] of Liechtenstein is Telecom Liechtenstein, located in Vaduz.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Top 20 Internet Service Providers in Liechtenstein {{!}} DB-IP |url=https://db-ip.com/country/LI |access-date=2025-02-12 |website=db-ip.com}}</ref> There are two conventional television channels in the country. The private channel [[1FLTV]] was created in 2008 with a goal of joining the [[European Broadcasting Union]], which it did not accomplish and has since abandoned. The ''Landeskanal'' ({{small|[[:de:Landeskanal|de]]}}) ("National Channel") is operated by the government's Unit for Information and Communication and carries government proceedings, [[Public affairs (broadcasting)|public affairs]] programming, and cultural events. Both are seen on local cable providers, along with all major channels from the other German-speaking countries. Since Switzerland shut off its [[digital terrestrial television]] network in 2019, the only free television signals available are German and Austrian channels from the Sender Pfänder ({{small|[[:de:Sender Pfänder|de]]}}) in [[Bregenz]]. [[Radio Liechtenstein]], which was established in 2004 along with the public-service broadcaster ''[[:de:Liechtensteinischer Rundfunk|Liechtensteinischer Rundfunk]]'' (LRF) that operated it, was the country's only domestic radio station based in Schaan.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Radio Liechtenstein |url=https://www.radio.li/ |access-date=2025-05-12 |website=www.radio.li |language=de}}</ref> The Radio station was shut down on the 3rd April 2025,<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-04-02 |title=Radio L wird am Donnerstag, um 18 Uhr, abgeschaltet |url=https://www.vaterland.li/liechtenstein/politik/radio-l-wird-am-donnerstag-um-18-uhr-abgeschaltet-art-594942 |access-date=2025-05-12 |website=Vaterland online}}</ref> after a national vote to privatise the radio was proposed<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-08-02 |title=DpL übergeben 1729 Unterschriften (Abo) |url=https://www.vaterland.li/liechtenstein/politik/dpl-uebergeben-1729-unterschriften-art-572617 |access-date=2025-05-12 |website=Vaterland online}}</ref> and passed<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-10-25 |title=Abstimmung über die Privatisierung von Radio L, 27.10.2024 (Abo) |url=https://www.vaterland.li/liveticker/liveticker-abstimmung-271024-213/ |access-date=2025-05-12 |website=Vaterland online}}</ref> by the [[Democrats for Liechtenstein]], which led to the radio's closure. Radio Liechtenstein and several programs of SRF were/are broadcast from the Sender Erbi ({{small|[[:de:Sender Erbi|de]]}}) overlooking Vaduz. Liechtenstein also has one major newspaper: ''[[Liechtensteiner Vaterland]]''. [[Amateur radio]] is a hobby of some nationals and visitors. However, unlike virtually every other sovereign nation, Liechtenstein does not have its own [[ITU prefix]]. Conventionally, amateurs are issued call signs with the Swiss prefix "HB", followed by "0" or "L".
