Love Nature 4K Lands in Turkey

Love Nature 4K, a joint venture from Blue Ant Media and Smithsonian Networks, has launched its premium wildlife and nature linear TV service in Turkey.

The service is available on pay-TV platform TV+ in 4K and HD in Turkey both on IPTV and OTT. Turkcell subscribers now have exclusive access to Love Nature 4K’s library of original programming, which includes hundreds of hours of natural-history content. Among the highlights of this content are original commissions Dogs with Extraordinary Jobs and Orangutan Jungle School.

The distribution deal was brokered by Chiara McKee, VP of global networks and kids for the EMEA region at Blue Ant Media.

“Turkey is one of the largest pay-TV markets in Europe and Love Nature 4K’s launch in the region is a significant milestone for the brand’s ongoing global expansion,” said Ward Platt, CEO of global networks and kids at Blue Ant Media. “This partnership with Turkcell is a great opportunity to share our stunning 4K natural history programming with wildlife and nature fans across Turkey.”

In order to give the best experience to our subscribers, Love Nature 4K is dubbed in the local language and is available in UHD.
