Germany to launch Death Channel on Cable and Online
Catering to an aging population, a round-the-clock television channel devoted exclusively to ageing, death and dying will be launched in Germany this Fall, reports The Telegraph.
"Eos TV will feature documentaries about graveyards, televised obituaries, tips on finding a decent retirement home and even how to install in-house stair lifts.
The €10 million (£7 million) project was conceived by Wolf Tilmann Schneider, 51, a former television producer who has joined forces with Germany's funeral association to launch the 24-hour, seven days a week, death-and-dying channel on cable television and the internet.
Viewers who tune into Eos TV can expect to be entertained by documentaries highlighting the beauty and tranquillity of graveyards both in Germany and abroad.
Other shows will aim to provide viewers with information about undertakers, insurance schemes, retirement homes and nursing services. Such topics as meals-on-wheels, stair lifts, bathroom hoists and medication for age-related complaints will also be covered."
