FAST BBC Earth’s offering varies depending on the market. According to Broadband TV News, the nature series “Dynasties” can be watched in Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. In Italy, the format “In the Frozen Shackles” will appear, in the Scandinavian countries “Ice Planet” and in France “Dolphins – Spy in the Pod”.
In the Nordic countries, BBC Earth returns
In the case of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, we are dealing with the return of the BBC Earth brand. In spring 2023, BBC Earth and BBC Brit will be replaced by BBC Nordic. The broadcaster has also launched the BBC Nordic+ streaming service in these markets.
– The launch of BBC Earth is a testament to the strength of the BBC’s brands and global appeal. In recent years, BBC Studios has seen a surge in the popularity of FAST content, driven by the quality of its content catalogue, said Kasia Jabłońska, director of digital and on-demand content at BBC Studios.
“The BBC’s nature programmes and documentaries have a magnetic power that regularly draws viewers to their TVs. In recent years, David Attenborough’s travels around the world have attracted millions of viewers worldwide, and now many Samsung TV Plus users can enjoy exciting and adventurous content whenever they want,” said Jennifer Batty, Director of Content Partnerships, Samsung TV Plus and The Art Store.
In Poland, BBC channels are only available for a fee
In Poland, the BBC Studios portfolio includes: BBC Earth, BBC Brit, BBC Lifestyle, BBC First and CBeebies. All of them are offered for a fee in packages of cable networks, digital platforms and streaming services. The Samsung TV Plus service also does not work on the Vistula, thanks to which you can watch hundreds of FAST stations, i.e. free stations offered in streaming with advertising. They mainly offer older productions or individual seasons of programs.
The South Korean electronics maker is focusing on larger advertising markets. That may change in the future. Last year, FAST channels on the Vistula River launched TVN Warner Bros. Discovery, Wirtualna Polska, Rakuten TV, ZPR Media and Da Vinci. Many companies have noticed the potential of FAST.
A year ago, among others, the Polish version of the nature documentary BBC Earth updated its logo and graphic design. – The main idea of the brand is “a window to the world”. A circular window that symbolizes the Earth and the infinite wonder it has to offer, said BBC Studios creative director Nick Meikle, quoted by creativebloq.com.
