MONTREAL – Stingray Digital Group announced Friday that it has bought the Florida-based NatureVision TV television channel plus its catalog of soothing nature programs in HD and 4K video.
Launched in November 2015 and branded ‘the all natural relaxation channel’, NatureVision's hours of calming scenery are available directly from the channel's website or mobile app. The channel is also available on Apple TV, Roku, Android TV, Amazon Fire TV, Pluto TV, Xumo, Rabbit TV, and Tubi TV as well as Netflix and Amazon Prime.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Under the terms of the acquisition, Stingray will fully own, operate, and distribute NatureVision TV.
Stingray said in the news release that it will benefit from the channel's extensive distribution network of OTT content providers, while Stingray's clients will have access to an increased 4K content offering.
"The potential operational and promotional synergies between Stingray and NatureVision TV are enormous," said Stingray president, co-founder and CEO Eric Boyko, in the release. "All the metrics surrounding 4K television – including awareness and sales – point to long-term growth. The success of Stingray Ambiance 4K, a unique channel that immerses viewers in the healing beauty of nature, has already demonstrated audience's appetite for soothing and relaxing content offered in ultra-high definition.”
