The big highlight here will have race car drivers such as Lewis Hamilton and Klaus Ludwig, as well as other celebrities, taking both vintage and brand-new Mercedes-Benz vehicles for a spin on a special course set up between Brandenburg Gate and the Victory Column.

The cars driven here will range from an Uhlenhaut coupe to the current luxury convertible concept known as “Ocean Drive.” In addition to featuring interviews with celebrities like Oliver Bierhoff and top model Eva Padberg, the live broadcast also will present exclusive background information on Fashion Week.As the first Internet TV offering, Mercedes-Benz TV combines the broadcasting features of regular television with the new digital possibilities offered by the Internet.

Anchorwoman Tanja Bülter, for example, presents her weekly news magazine in the traditional manner. At the same time, onsite reporters present individual features for the magazine when appropriate. These reports can also be called up from any of the five channels at any given time on demand. Mercedes-Benz TV features an intuitive system and is therefore very easy to use. Approximately 60 minutes of programming will be available on each channel when broadcast operations are launched.
