Love Nature and Sky partner to bring Sky Nature to Italy and Germany


TORONTO, WASHINGTON and LONDON, UK – Blue Ant’s wildlife and nature brand Love Nature and European media and entertainment company Sky today announced the expansion of Sky Nature into Italy and Germany.

Originally launched in the UK as part of a five-year content deal, Sky Nature is “the official home of Love Nature’s award winning HD and UHD content and… the biggest natural channel in the UK dedicated to exploring and understanding the beauty and wonder of our natural world,” a press release says.

“We launched Sky Nature just one year ago and it has already delivered record breaking audiences as the biggest natural channel in the UK,” said Zai Bennett, managing director of content at Sky UK and Ireland, in the press release.

The expansion means Sky customers in Italy and Germany will have access to Sky Nature, including “access to 670 hours of content shot in stunning 4K by 2025,” the press release says.

“Programming will be localised in Italian and German,” and will include Osprey: Sea Raptor, Malawi Wildlife Rescue, Battle of the Alphas (above) and other original titles.

“Not only does this expanded deal highlight the quality of our stunning series and documentaries, it validates Love Nature’s decision to invest in 4K over seven years ago, while navigating through all the uncharted territory that came with being one of the first to market in the natural history space,” said Carlyn Staudt, global general manager of Love Nature.
