In his first year on the job, David Lyle has moved the channel towards an 80/20 split in favour of returnable series over one-offs and experienced success with series like Doomsday Preppers and Wicked Tuna.
Moving forward, Nat Geo is looking into the dramatised history space with Killing Lincoln and Seal Team Six: The Raid on Osama Bin Laden.
He said: "We’re varying the form and the content a bit. We have just announced we’re going to run the Seal Team Six dramatised movie, which is very much based on fact. Likewise we’re doing a dramatisation, Killing Lincoln, which is narrated by Tom Hanks. That’s a different form – factual drama, if you will. These things are different ways of approaching specials to make them special events."
