To answer one qu...Thanks for the great interview! <br /><br />To answer one question, there isn't a sponsor for the show. Das Erste is a publicly owned television channel so they show very little commercials (20 minutes per day all in all and only on weekdays). The people who pay for the show is the viewing public through the fees every German household who owns a TV set has to pay.<br /><br />The broadcaster is mandated by law to educate the German public so promoting tolerance towards homosexuality is very important to them. Incidentally in 1987, their hit show Lindenstraße featured the first gay kiss on a German TV show.Nannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16253287727968777298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-84784205264919942092010-03-31T09:46:01.989-04:002010-03-31T09:46:01.989-04:00I wish HBO all the luck in the world but if it'...I wish HBO all the luck in the world but if it's the Christian and Olli story, I hope it actually seems like a variation of it instead of in name only.

Shirley Ozment (FB her) is trying to start a writing campaign to get Jo and Thore a part on the show - even if its just a guest appearance. :DFTLNewsFeedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05106494597030422421noreply@blogger.com
