NHK was involved with filming that took place in 22 countries on six continents. We took all kinds of steps to ensure that we were in the right place at the right time to film mating behavior in 8K. As a result, we got stunning footage of the courtship behavior of a wide range of species including lesser flamingos, ruffs, caimans and hummingbirds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Keith Scholey, executive producer for Silverback Films, added that the series \u201cis there to remind people that the natural world is wonderful, and we need to thrill people with the wonder of nature.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hakuno Takahiko, NHK&#8217;s 8K channel controller, said: \u201cThis series is an invitation to witness natural spectacles on a grand scale. The mating behaviors we reveal are fascinating and truly astonishing. The series unravels natural mysteries that most of us had never even imagined. The 8K footage captured by the veteran Japanese and British crews is magical and truly unforgettable.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NHK&#8217;s 8K channel is set to broadcast the new natural-history series The Mating Game in January.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":17329,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[2269,522,851,5249],"class_list":["post-17328","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-bilibili","tag-france-televisions","tag-nhk","tag-silverback-films","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>NHK&#039;s 8K Channel to Air The Mating Game - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/nhks-8k-channel-to-air-the-mating-game\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"NHK&#039;s 8K Channel to Air The Mating Game - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"NHK&#039;s 8K channel is set to broadcast the new natural-history series The Mating Game in January.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/nhks-8k-channel-to-air-the-mating-game\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-12-08T15:14:43+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/07\/NHK-TheMatingGame-1221.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"337\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/nhks-8k-channel-to-air-the-mating-game\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/nhks-8k-channel-to-air-the-mating-game\/\",\"name\":\"NHK's 8K Channel to Air The Mating Game - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2021-12-08T15:14:43+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2021-12-08T15:14:43+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/nhks-8k-channel-to-air-the-mating-game\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/nhks-8k-channel-to-air-the-mating-game\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/nhks-8k-channel-to-air-the-mating-game\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"NHK&#8217;s 8K Channel to Air The Mating Game\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\",\"name\":\"Jamie Stalcup\",\"description\":\"Jamie Stalcup is the executive editor of World Screen.
