Love Nature grows reach in Central Europe

Icon Films’ Malawi Wildlife Rescue

Blue Ant-owned channel Love Nature has penned a deal with European pay TV distributor IFC Media that will expand the 4K natural history network’s presence across Slovakia and the Czech Republic.

Love Nature will be added to the content offerings of both the Slovakian and Czech versions of pay TV network Orange Slovensko via the deal.

Orange Slovensko subscribers will get access to the full library of Love Nature content, including titles such as Amazing Animal Friends, Dogs with Extraordinary Jobs and Malawi Wildlife Rescue.

The launch further expands Love Nature’s footprint in the Czech and Slovakian markets following its launch on Skylink and Lepsi TV last year.

Chiara Mckee, VP of global networks at Blue Ant Media, said: “Love Nature has seen explosive growth in the last 18 months, growing to be in 110 territories on 55 different platforms, reaching over 150 million households. Our new partnership with IFC Media in the Czech Republic and Slovakia will help us accelerate the Love Nature business in these key Central European markets.”
