Deutscher Fernsehpreis
The Deutscher Fernsehpreis is an annual German award for television programming, created in 1999, by German television channels Das Erste, ZDF, RTL and Sat.1. It was created to be an equivalent to the Emmy Awards, though it is not organized by an academy. The Fernsehpreis is the successor to both the Telestar and the Goldener Löwe awards.
