Kanal Telemedial

This also marked the start of the “Telemediale Zeit”, the time that has passed since the station was redesigned and was continuously displayed on several monitors in the background of the studio.

Since 8 February 2008, broadcasts have also been made from the former horse stable at the Schwarzenberg Palace in Vienna, which was being converted into a television studio at the time.

On some cable networks and via analog satellite, the channel was broadcast daily from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. after KiKA shut down for the night.

On 5 June 2008, the Austrian communications authority determined that Telemedial's broadcasting license had expired.

Initially, Kanal Telemedial's line-up, like its predecessor channels, consisted of telephone consultations.

The audience could be connected to the studio by telephone and the respective advisors now claimed to be able to predict events in their future.

The show's presenter staff gathered irregularly in front of the studio backdrop and gave demonstrations.

Most of the calls were made to Thomas Hornauer, with some viewers reciting poems, talking to him about the “telemedial idea” or complaining about the program that could be seen on this channel.

Artists were also present in the studio and created pictures live in a broadcast on a specific topic such as faith.

Thomas G. Hornauer explained the Telemedial idea as a school of life, which is not only about understanding and learning on the mental level, but also about intuition.

The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung characterized the station as “a single rip-off company disguised with a belief in fate”.

[8] Norbert Schneider, head of the state media authority in North Rhine-Westphalia and chairman of the joint office for programs, advertising and media competence of the state media authorities (GSPWM), said: “Taking money to transmit energies across the screen overshadows everything that has existed before has.”[9] In April 2008 it became known that Kanal Telemedial had been reprimanded by the Austrian television supervisory authority because the program promoted behavior that was harmful to health.
