Nat Geo People – ny kanal på vej fra National Geographic
National Geographic melder, at de har en ny kanal på vej. Den nye kanal kommer til at hedde Nat Geo People. Kanalen erstatter Nat Geo Adventure på de markeder, hvor denne kanal pt. sender og samlet set skulle Nat Geo People blive lanceret i 50 lande i begyndelse af 2014. Pressemeddelelsen nævner dog ikke om Danmark bliver et af disse lande.
Nat Geo People vil indeholde historier om bemærkelsesværdige personer og fascinerende subkulturer fundet over hele kloden og de fremhæver programmerne David Rocco’s Dolce Vita, Food Lover’s Guide To The Planet, Ladyboys, Don’t Tell My Mother and Hook, Line & Sisters.
“Nat Geo People will bring viewers emotional and entertaining true stories of real people; think of it as Real TV as opposed to Reality TV. Our focus is on compelling characters who take you into riveting subcultures and on exhilarating adventures”, added Hamish Mykura, NGCI’s Executive Vice President and Head of International Content. “Nat Geo’s female viewers enjoy shows about people and cultures and we wanted to give those stories a home”, udtaler Ward Platt, CEO for NGCI.
Kanalen skulle blive tilgængelig en HD udgave.
