(London, UK – August 7, 2018) – Love Nature 4K announced today two new channel distribution deals in Europe for its wildlife and nature channel, which showcases natural phenomena to the marvels of the animal kingdom in astonishing detail. The commercial free, family-friendly offering has launched in The Netherlands on Dutch-speaking service, KPN and in Switzerland via IPTV platform Swisscom. The news arrives on the heels of the brand’s recent debut in the UK and Ireland on Virgin Media.
Love Nature’s original series, launching on both platforms, include Reef Wrecks (5×60′; 4K and HD), which shares stories of the 3 million+ known shipwreck sites in the world and the sea creatures that surround them; Africa’s Wild Horizons (11×60′; 4K and HD), showcasing Africa’s diverse ecosystems, breeding grounds, migration paths and watering holes across the Serengeti, down the Mara River and over the forests of Ruaha National Park; and Arctic Secrets (8×60’4K & HD), which journeys to the most remote Arctic landscapes, populated with unique animals and plants that have adapted to survive in the harshest climates on the planet.
