AETN Announces Programming Lineup for MIPTV

NEW YORK, March 27: AETN
International will head to MIPTV with more than 380 new hours of non-fiction
programming and an expanded catalogue of short-form content.

In documentary specials,
the company is offering Life After People, which debuted in the U.S. on The History Channel in January and was
the most-watched special ever on the network. The program looks at what would
happen to the planet if the human race disappeared. King will also be on offer for international buyers. The
1×2-hour special chronicles Martin Luther King Jr.’s peaceful revolution, and
commemorates the 40th anniversary of his assassination on April 4, 1968.

New series on AETN’s slate
include Shockwave, a 13×1-hour
offering that takes raw footage from catastrophic, headline-making events and
uses the latest graphic technology to dissect the video, revealing 3-D view of
what happened.

Returning series in the
company’s catalogue include Paranormal State, which follows students of Penn State University’s
Paranormal Research Society as they seek to uncover real-life mysteries, and Crime
360, which takes viewers inside
actual investigations using 360-degree digital photography, state-of-the-art 3D
laser scanning and CGI visualizations.

Also in AETN’s catalogue
is more than 7,000 original short-form pieces, headlined by Olympic
Forgotten Games, which takes a
light-hearted look at wacky and weird events from past Olympic games. Other
short-form series include Confessions of a Matchmaker Dating Tips and Criss Angel Mindfreak.
