Spirit TV

Spirit TV is a German private television channel dedicated to astrology, horoscopes, clairvoyance and card reading, with a strong emphasis on live interaction. It is a brand of the programme provider CSP Counseling Studio Productions GmbH and is positioned as the successor to the similarly themed channel Astro TV. The channel targets mainly women aged between 40 and 70. The programme consists largely of call-in shows in which viewers can receive paid advice over a premium-rate telephone number, alongside teleshopping formats. Spirit TV also offers telephone consultations directly through its website, where users can book advisors seen on TV, with the first five minutes often free and subsequent minutes charged at rates typically between €2.49 and €4.99 per minute. Advisors include figures such as Alexander Kopitkow, Frank Bernotat, Moritz Watzinger, Hilli Hotan, Maren Giertz, Angelika Schieber, Daniel Kreibich and Ingvild Müller. Spirit TV began broadcasting on 2 January 2025 on the satellite frequency previously used by Astro TV, which ceased operations on 27 December 2024. The channel was founded by Daniel Lang and his then partner Torsten Kolibal. After Kolibal left in March 2025, Daniel Lang continued as sole managing director of CSP Counseling Studio Productions GmbH. The company is equally owned by Linda Giese, Thomas Raschke and Daniel Lang. Distribution includes satellite via Astra 19.2° East, streaming on the channel's website and YouTube, and since May 2025 via Vodafone Deutschland as well as some local networks. A brief stint on Freenet TV's terrestrial platform ended after about half a year. The channel's website highlights over 125,000 successful consultations on television and online, SSL-encrypted secure payment, and the ability to start a free trial call anonymously without an account.

Spirit TV is a German private television channel that emerged as the successor to Astro TV, a well-known but controversial spiritual call-in channel. The programme was founded by Daniel Lang and his then partner Torsten Kolibal. Daniel Lang had previously worked at Kanal Telemedial, described as Europe's first spiritual channel, where he was involved in production from the start. He later spent many years in a leadership position at Astro TV, helping to shape well-known live formats, and then deepened his expertise over ten years running an esoteric online shop. The first broadcast of Spirit TV went on air on 2 January 2025 on the satellite frequency previously used by the leading spiritual TV channel. Astro TV had ceased operations on 27 December 2024, creating a gap for its audience that Spirit TV aimed to fill. After Torsten Kolibal left in March 2025, Daniel Lang continued as sole managing director of CSP Counseling Studio Productions GmbH, the programme provider behind the brand. The company is equally owned by Linda Giese, Thomas Raschke and Daniel Lang. Spirit TV broadcasts via satellite Astra 19.2° East, and is available as a live stream on its website and on YouTube. Since May 2025 it has also been carried by Vodafone Deutschland and in some local networks. A distribution deal with Freenet TV's terrestrial platform was added at the end of 2025 but abandoned about half a year later. The channel's programming focuses on astrology, horoscopes, clairvoyance and card reading, with call-in shows where viewers can consult advisors via a premium-rate number, as well as teleshopping. The website also allows direct telephone consultations with advisors from the TV, with the first five minutes free and subsequent minutes charged at rates typically between €2.49 and €4.99 per minute. The site claims over 125,000 successful consultations on television and online.
