Narrated by Sir David Attenborough, <em>The Hunt<\/em> explores the relationship between predators and their prey. The program comes from the executive producers of <em>Blue Planet<\/em> and <em>Planet Earth<\/em>. The deal also features <em>Wild Japan<\/em>, which examines the vast range of landscapes in the highly industrialized archipelago, with each episode detailing how humans interact with nature.<\/p>\n<p><em>Atlantic: Wildest Ocean<\/em> is also part of the sale. The program reveals secrets of the Atlantic Ocean. In\u00a0addition, <em>Wild Patagonia <\/em>and <em>Big Blue Live<\/em>\u00a0are headed to JTBC. The former uncovers interesting wildlife in Patagonia, while the latter looks at the success of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary and is presented by Steve Backshall, Matt Baker, Liz Bonnin and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall.<\/p>\n<p>These programs are now available on JTBC viewers\u2019 set-top boxes, as well as online, subtitled in Korean.

Our relationship with JTBC started in 2012 with just one natural-history title. The continued demand for BBC\u2019s premium documentaries is an indication of its appeal to viewers. With this new deal, we hope to be able to deliver more premium quality, inspiring content to fans across South Korea.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Su-young Lee, head of programming at JTBC, said, \u201cBBC\u2019s factual programs have become increasingly popular on the channel. We are very glad to partner with BBC Worldwide to deliver the quality of factual programs that our viewers demand. I look forward to working with BBC Worldwide to develop more exciting opportunities for our fans in Korea.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LIVERPOOL: At Showcase 2017, BBC Worldwide inked a deal with Joongang Tongyang Broadcasting Company (JTBC) that sees more than 500 hours of science, natural history and documentary content land in South Korea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":477,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[104,1963,1964],"class_list":["post-9780","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","tag-bbc-worldwide","tag-bbc-worldwide-showcase-2017","tag-joongang-tongyang-broadcasting-company-jtbc","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>BBC Worldwide Sends 500-Plus Factual Hours to South Korea - 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\/bbc-worldwide-sends-500-plus-factual-hours-to-south-korea\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"BBC Worldwide Sends 500-Plus Factual Hours to South Korea - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"LIVERPOOL: At Showcase 2017, BBC Worldwide inked a deal with Joongang Tongyang Broadcasting Company (JTBC) that sees more than 500 hours of science, natural history and documentary content land in South Korea.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/bbc-worldwide-sends-500-plus-factual-hours-to-south-korea\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-02-21T16:15:47+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2017-02-21T18:09:39+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"http:\/\/worldscreen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/logo.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Sara Alessi\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Sara Alessi\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/bbc-worldwide-sends-500-plus-factual-hours-to-south-korea\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/bbc-worldwide-sends-500-plus-factual-hours-to-south-korea\/\",\"name\":\"BBC Worldwide Sends 500-Plus Factual Hours to South Korea - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2017-02-21T16:15:47+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2017-02-21T18:09:39+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/bbc-worldwide-sends-500-plus-factual-hours-to-south-korea\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/bbc-worldwide-sends-500-plus-factual-hours-to-south-korea\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/bbc-worldwide-sends-500-plus-factual-hours-to-south-korea\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"BBC Worldwide Sends 500-Plus Factual Hours to South Korea\"}]},{\"@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\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\",\"name\":\"Sara Alessi\",\"description\":\"Sara Alessi is the associate editor of World Screen.
