WildEarth launches on Freeview

The nature-focused channel is expanding its 7m monthly reach. It can now be found on Freeview channel 91 in the UK.

With broadcasts from numerous game reserves and parks, including Djuma Private Game Reserve, Pridelands, Madikwe and Amakhala, WildEarth offers viewers the opportunity to engage with naturalists in real time, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for the natural world.

Highlights include:

SafariLIVE – twice-daily live safaris from various African wilderness reserves offering an insight into the captivating daily lives, stories, and families of leopards, lions, hyenas, elephants, and rhinos.

LIVE at the Waterhole – animals gather at watering holes across Africa, revealing moments of intense drama and vulnerability as predators stealthily lurk in the bushes, poised to strike unsuspecting prey.

The channel has launched in the United Kingdom through Freeview on the SDN multiplex.

The companies have worked together to leverage the newest technologies in content gathering in remote locations and bringing them across the world into the UK’s Freeview homes, blending IP gathering and DTT delivery seamlessly.

Emily Wallington, Co-Founder of WildEarth, said:

“WildEarth is all about connecting people to nature in a real and unscripted way – in effect we are the largest safari vehicle in the word. This helps viewers to understand nature for what it really is and to see why we need to conserve our beautiful habitats. This partnership with Freeview in the UK is a major step in achieving this as we reach British viewers who love nature and care about the planet.”

Those with older television sets are reminded to retune their Freeview devices to access the channel.
