The images are so beautiful, graced with so much detail, that you do not even require a caption to embrace the beauty and majesty of the universe.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>\tNational Geographic Channel recently scored big with its broadcast of <em>Killing Jesus<\/em>, which nabbed 3.7 million viewers on Sunday night, setting a new ratings record for the network. The three-hour special delivered the highest total viewership in the channel&#039;s history. The 8 p.m. premiere garnered a 2.8 household rating, which is the second highest HH in network history. &ldquo;<em>Killing Jesus<\/em> was our most ambitious production to date, coupled with one of our largest cross-platform promotional campaigns,&rdquo; said National Geographic Channels&#039; CEO, Courteney Monroe. &ldquo;We are thrilled that audiences responded to the film with the same enthusiasm and passion we had for this production since day one.
