Smithsonian Channel has launched in Brazil as it continues to grow its international presence.<\/p>\n
The network\u2019s linear and VOD services are now available in HD on NET channel. The launch in Brazil follows on the heels of Smithsonian Channel\u2019s rollout in the U.K. and Ireland earlier this year. It\u2019s also available in Latin America, Canada and Singapore. The network\u2019s programming includes factual titles that cover history, travel, air and space, science, nature and pop culture.<\/p>\n

Tom Hayden, president of Smithsonian Networks, said: \u201cSmithsonian Channel has been embraced internationally by non-fiction entertainment lovers at an increasing pace that surprises even us. After rolling out in Latin America last year and the U.K. and Ireland this past February, we\u2019re excited to enter into the massively important media market of Brazil and are already commissioning new programming that draws on Brazilian talent.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
