Japanese duo sign for Blue Ant content

NHK has picked up Blue Ant’s 4K doc Turtle Beach

MIPCOM: Japanese pubcaster NHK and cabsat broadcaster Fox Networks Group Japan have struck new content deals with factual and 4K specialist Blue Ant International.

Both broadcasters are at this week’s Mipcom, which has chosen Japan as this year’s country of focus.

The agreement with NHK covers two 4K docs: Turtle Beach (1×60’), which looks at turtles’ nesting behaviour and is produced by Renegade Pictures & Merit Entertainment, and Rooted Media’s natural history doc Rooted (1×60), about South African flora and fauna.

HD doc UFOs: The Lost Evidence (1×60’) from Megalomedia has also been picked up.

Fox Networks Group Japan, meanwhile, has licensed new 4K ocean doc Blue (1×60’) from Blue Ant Studios-owned prodco Northern Pictures.

The deal also covers the first seasons of 4K natural history series Undiscovered Vistas (8×60’) and marine conservation doc Great Blue Wild (6×60’), both from Blue Ant Studios.
