Blue Ant Media Sets Fall Schedule Across Canadian Channels

Blue Ant Media has secured exclusive world and Canadian premieres across its channels, including T+E, Makeful, Cottage Life, Love Nature, BBC Earth and Smithsonian Channel Canada.

“This fall, Blue Ant Media has a fully loaded lineup of new, passion-focused shows, exclusive premieres and big-name stars to entertain and excite our audiences,” says Jamie Schouela, president of Canadian Media at Blue Ant Media. “Whether Canadians are looking for their paranormal fix, DIY crafting inspiration or longing to escape into the great outdoors, we have something for everyone to enjoy this season.”

T+E is set to roll out three new and two returning haunting programs as part of the channel’s popular Creep Week lineup. The TV event will include the all-new series Paranormal Captured, featuring paranormal footage captured from around the world and analyzed by a panel of experts; Paranormal Night Shift, which tells the chilling stories of workers who have experienced paranormal encounters during their graveyard shift; and My Paranormal Nightmare, where eyewitnesses recount their terrifying true stories of paranormal encounters that have haunted them since childhood. Returning favorites include Strange Evidence, now in its third season.

Makeful will air continuing seasons of DIY programs such as The Great British Sewing Bee (season six), which follows 12 amateur sewers as they take on challenges and compete to be named Britain’s Best Amateur Sewer; The Repair Shop (season four), where individuals bring their much-loved but broken family treasures to restoration experts; and The Great Pottery Throw Down (season three), which follows 12 passionate potters as they strive to create intricate and imaginative work to be judged by a panel of experts.

On Cottage Life, viewers will be able to catch the sixth season of What on Earth?, which follows scientists, archaeologists and explorers as they examine some of the most bizarre and inexplicable imagery captured by satellites orbiting the Earth; and the fourth season of Unearthed, a series that decodes the mysteries of the world’s most iconic structures and monuments from ancient to present day.

Love Nature will host the blue-chip natural-history series Stormborn, narrated by Golden Globe Award winner Ewan McGregor. A Love Nature original commission, this three-part story-led drama captures some of the world’s most hardy animal characters across Norway, Scotland and Iceland over one dramatic breeding year. Meanwhile, on Smithsonian Channel Canada, the all-new series The Curious Life and Death of… explores some of the most mysterious deaths of the last century. On BBC Earth, the all-new original series Animal Impossible follows hosts Tim Warwood and Adam Gendle as they put well-known animal facts to the test to uncover the truth about the natural kingdom. Also new this fall, the second season of Spy in the Wild, narrated by David Tennant, places lifelike wild animal robots into the natural habitats of their living, breathing counterparts.
