Alchimie to Deliver NHK Wildlife Content Across OTT Platforms

Alchimie has struck a deal with NHK Enterprises that brings a wealth of wildlife programming from the subsidiary of the Japanese public broadcaster to its library.

The new agreement is Alchimie’s first content acquisition deal in Japan and adds to the existing science and wildlife programming already in its library. Alchimie’s titles are distributed to over 40 digital platforms and telcos across Europe, including to TVPlayer, its recently acquired U.K.-based OTT platform.

Nicolas d’Hueppe, CEO of Alchimie, said, “NHK is one of the world’s most admired broadcasters and producers and is renowned for its high-quality programs, and we’re proud that Alchimie’s first agreement with Asia is with such a prestigious partner.”

Chie Muto, executive manager of content distribution at NHK Enterprises, said, “We were impressed with the range and quality of Alchimie’s SVOD channels, and their expert eye for the curation of premium documentary content delivers a compelling viewing proposition. We’re delighted that by working with Alchimie some of NHK’s best shows will find new audiences to entertain and engage across U.K. and Australia.”
