Controversy over COVID-19 commentary
ServusTV faced criticism over Der Wegscheider commentary that questioned the adequacy of COVID-19 vaccine testing, alleged the presence of genetically modified substances and presented ivermectin as an appropriate treatment. The press club Concordia filed a complaint with Austria’s communications authority.
Political criticism and far-right associations
The broadcaster has been associated in public commentary with far-right politics and conspiracy-oriented programming. Criticism has included the invitation of Identitarian movement figure Martin Sellner to Talk im Hangar 7 and the recurring appearance of COVID-19 skeptic Sucharit Bhakdi.
