wedotv has aligned with ZDF Studios to launch two new multiplatform channels: wedotv get.factual and Time2Rlx.

Time2Rlx is designed to provide a calming effect for viewers by featuring beautiful environmental scenes—landscapes, ocean waves, sunny tropical beaches, tranquil snowy vistas, etc.—all shot in 4K and up to 8K and accompanied by ambient environmental sounds or a gentle musical soundtrack. Time2Rlx will be available to platforms worldwide.

wedotv get.factual will feature nonfiction content from ZDF Studios’ library of documentary and lifestyle programming. The channel will feature series such as Ancient Apocalypse, Profession: Queen!, The Abyss: Rise and Fall of the Nazis, Cold Case, Beyond the Myth, Women Who Made History, The Ascent of Civilization, Secrets of the Bible, Missing Link and Great Inventions. wedotv get.factual is customized for the Middle East and North Africa, and all shows will be localized for each specific market within the MENA region.

“It is an honor to launch channels with ZDF Studios’ top-quality content,” said wedotv’s co-founder and CEO, Philipp Rotermund. “MENA is one of the fastest-growing markets in the world for streaming services, so we are excited to launch wedotv get.factual and are already in discussions with the leading TV platforms serving the region. Additionally, Time2Rlx has the kind of global appeal that defies cultural and language barriers. It’s a unique proposition that I think will resonate with viewers around the world.”

Linette Zaulich, ZDF Studios’ Director Unscripted, added, “By creating new channels, we are realizing a goal we’ve had for some time. Identifying the right brand and content for the different markets is a challenge, and we were able to find a great partner to supplement our vision for these channels. Our partner, wedotv, has exactly the level of experience, expertise and service we needed. We are very excited about the initial reaction to the channels and look forward to a very productive year.”
