Discovery beefs up Seeker

Discovery Communications is relaunching its Seeker brand with new online programming this month.

Seeker, billed as Discovery’s digital network “dedicated to the spirit of adventure and pursuit of wonder,” launched in 2015.

The network will now roll out a raft of new original programmes including Taking a Tiny Home on the Road with Snowboarder Mike Basich and Could Alaska be the New Center for Global Trade?.

Other shows to launch this month include I Left My Law Career to Be a Lego Artist and Seeker Live Week: Svalbard Seed Vault, which sees a presenter visit the Norwegian seed vault.

The service’s slate is made up of shortform documentaries, live online events and social content that reaches the audience through the Seeker.com website as well as on YouTube, Facebok, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat.
