Sat.1 is passing the ball back and forth between the host nations for Euro 08: Sat.1 Austria and Sat.1 Switzerland are launching a joint soccer magazine. "KickOff" will be broadcast simultaneously in both countries from May 9. The show will be presented by a binational presenter duo consisting of Norbert Oberhauser and Claudia Lässer and will cover everything that happens off the pitch. The presenters visit the wives of the national team players, get up close and personal with the protagonists of Euro 2008 in intimate places and, of course, don't miss the opportunity to pit Austrian celebrities against their Swiss counterparts in a direct quiz duel: Miss Switzerland versus Miss Austria or Jörg Stiel versus Toni Polster. Instead, Sat.1 is relying on country exchanges: 31-year-old Austrian Norbert Oberhauser, presenter of the breakfast TV show "Café Puls", will report on his experiences in Switzerland for eight weeks from May 9. And Claudia Lässer, a Swiss of the same age and presenter of "Faces TV" and on Energy Zurich, will travel to the neighboring country to the east for the same period. The program is produced by Claudia Lässer (Trendscout GmbH) in collaboration with Norbert Oberhauser.
