LONDON, UK — Blue Ant Media’s Love Nature 4K content is now available to more viewers in Russia with the launch of the channel on Russian pay-TV platform Tricolor. The channel is already available in Russia on the pay-TV platform Rostelecom in 4K both on IPTV and OTT.
Tricolor subscribers now have access to Love Nature’s extensive library of original programming, which includes award-winning natural history productions and family-friendly content in 4K and HD. The deal was brokered by Thema Russia and overseen by Chiara McKee, vice-president, EMEA, Kids & Global Networks, Blue Ant Media.
“The Russian market has a growing appetite for dynamic 4K content that goes beyond static scenes and offers audiences compelling, character-led storytelling,” said Ward Platt, CEO, global networks and kids, Blue Ant Media, in the news release. “Bringing the channel to Tricolor allows us to share Love Nature 4K’s lineup of fascinating nature and wildlife stories with a wider Russian audience.”
Among the original programming included in the deal with Tricolor is Monkey Island (3×60; 4K & HD), which shares the story of an ancient citadel, once home to Sri Lanka’s kings, which has now been reclaimed by the jungle with a new dynasty in power — monkeys.
A joint venture between Blue Ant Media and Smithsonian Networks, Love Nature is a modern 4K natural history content brand that reaches viewers and lovers of wildlife on whatever platform they use, from linear, OTT, VOD, YouTube and more.
