Satnews: New German channel launched on Astra

The newly launched Spirit TV offers the usual content in the usual programming slot

Did the astrology channel AstroTV really stop broadcasting at the end of 2024 as announced? This question may arise when we switch to the AstroTV SD channel today.

Who is broadcasting in the old slot?

Everything looks as usual. A woman opens cards and tells the caller what to expect in the future. There are also displays of telephone numbers that viewers from Germany, Austria and Switzerland can contact who are looking for advice.

But something is different

But then something is different. Correct! The logo! It no longer says AstroTV, but Spirit TV. The name was also updated in the channel list after switching to this channel for the first time. So a new station that now also offers life advice.

A smart move, because current AstroTV viewers will find exactly what they have previously found there in the usual programming slot. Namely a spiritual TV channel from spiritual people for spiritual people.

The spiritual new German broadcaster Spirit TV took over the SD slot from the discontinued AstroTV at the beginning of the year

Spirit TV – That doesn’t mean anything to me

No wonder. Because Spirit TV is brand new and the channel would never have existed if AstroTV had not announced in May 2024 that it would be discontinued at the end of the year. As can be read on the Spirit TV website, not only were many viewers dismayed by the imminent end of AstroTV, but also those who were responsible for the operation of the esoteric channel, which was discontinued a few days ago, in front of and behind the camera.

Some courageous people saw this supposed end of the only esoteric channel in the German-speaking area as an opportunity and launched Spirit TV.

What is the concept of Spirit TV?

In principle, the concept of the former AstroTV is continued by Spirit TV. Viewers of the old channel already know what to expect on the new channel. Everything familiar, everything tried and tested.
