casting show , atalent search for would-bepop star s. It is broadcast on theAustria n TV channel "ORF 1".Despite striking similarities, Starmania is not a licensed version of the "Idols" format distributed by
FremantleMedia . Attempts to export the format to Germany failed due to legal intervention from Fremantle. In 2004, ORF managed to sell theformat rights to the Swiss channel SF, where the show is called "MusicStar ".From 2003 to 2007, 3 seasons of "Starmania" have been aired in Austria.
To date, the winners have been
Michael Tschuggnall ,Verena Pötzl andNadine Beiler . Interestingly,Christina Stürmer , who placed second in the first season, has become more famous than the other two winners combined, with top charts positions in Germany, Switzerland, and Italy.easons
