FOX takes Nat Geo People to Europe
​

FOX International Channels (FIC) has announced the launch in Europe of National Geographic Channels International (NGCI)'s TV brand Nat Geo People.
The channel, which is already available in Turkey, has launched on pay-TV for Italy's SKY and Germany's KDG, Unity and Kabel Baden Württemberg.
With this new expansion, Nat Geo People intends to consolidate the variety of the FIC's TV offer in Europe with a new channel that provides partners with a programming that complements National Geographic Channel and Nat Geo Wild.
Scheduled to launch in 50 countries, Nat Geo People will be present not only in Europe but also in Middle East and Asia-Pacific. The channel represents the next progression in NGCI's expanding portfolio of networks.
" Nat Geo People rounds out our portfolio of linear and non-linear destinations from the National Geographic brand. We thank our partners in Turkey; Germany and Italy for partnering with us on the launch, and for their commitment to delivering more smart and innovative entertainment from the National Geographic brand", said Diego Londoño, COO of FIC for Europe and Africa.
" Nat Geo People arrives as a natural extension for NGCI, bringing the viewers emotional and entertaining true stories of real people. Our focus is on compelling characters who take you into riveting subcultures and on exhilarating adventures," said Hamish Mykura, executive VP and head of international content at NGCI.
Nat Geo People's content and programming strategy will be overseen by NGCI's global content hub team based in London under the leadership of Mykura with significant input from programming teams in local markets.
National Geographic Channel will continue to differentiate itself with an extensive offering of lean-in programming that embraces adventure, exploration, world events and science while Nat Geo People will be devoted to the stories of people and cultures found around the world.
