New German-American Show Frühstück TV on Kickstarter

Frühstück TV brings German and German-American content right into your living room – not on TV, but on a dedicated website at www.fruhstuck.tv, where you can watch live or get videos “on demand”, all for free, of course. A Sunday morning Talk Show with a focus on German and German-American topics: politics, business, sports, arts and culture, entertainment… plus: regional events and a musical guest every week.

The founder, Lars Halter, launched a Kickstarter project, where you can make a donation in support of Frühstück TV – and get a nice reward. The best thing: Your credit card will only be charged if the entire project gets funded – that means: you are only donating if Frühstück TV get off the ground. That´s a guarantee that your money will not be wasted. You can support the project by following this link:

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1214997692/fruhstuck-tv-a-german-american-talk-show

On the Kickstarter page, you will find a 10 minute promo video for Frühstück TV. Have a look and see what the show is all about. Keep in mind: this is just a promo, filmed on a low budget, with no musical guest and no audience – all that will come later, once we are going live. One thing, however, will not change: the location: Frühstück TV will broadcast live from the Bierhaus NYC.
