Zoo 55 & Sen Unveiled Space Live FAST Channel

ITV Studios’ Zoo 55 business has aligned with Sen (Space Exploration Network) to launch a Space Live FAST channel on ITVX.

The channel—the first third-party FAST channel on ITVX—launches October 15 with a live 4K footage feed of Earth captured by Sen’s video cameras on the International Space Station. Other platforms will follow. Space Live is the first live FAST channel in the Zoo 55 portfolio.

Anna Lowman, editorial manager at ITVX for live, FAST channels and YouTube, said, “I can’t be alone in occasionally staring up into space and wondering what’s going on up at the International Space Station and what their view of us down on Earth is looking like. To be able to live stream that view from Space continuously, on ITVX for free, is very exciting. Coming from a family of curious stargazers, I’m really proud we’re part of this innovative partnership with Sen and Zoo 55″.

Charles Black, founder and CEO of Sen, said, “Sen was founded to democratize space through video, empowering people to see our beautiful planet from space. Partnering with Zoo 55 brings our vision to life—giving millions of people the chance to see Earth as astronauts do looking out of their spacecraft. I am excited to be working with the amazing team at ITV Studios and Zoo 55 and would like to thank them for their belief in Sen and for their enthusiasm to distribute Sen’s Space Live channel to a global audience.”

Graham Haigh, COO of Zoo 55, said, “We’re excited to be collaborating with Sen and the ITVX team to bring this pioneering and unique experience to viewers of ITVX. With audiences increasingly seeking immersive, ‘always-on’ content, Space Live is one giant leap in the next wave of streaming innovation.”
