NatGeo goes in Arabic
National Geographic Channel (NGC) will now be free-to-air following a strategic alliance, making it the first international factual entertainment channel to be launched in Arabic language. The newly-formed National Geographic Channel Abu Dhabi, which will be dubbed into Arabic, is a result of the channel's alliance with Abu Dhabi Media Company.
The channel will be available on Arabsat and Nilesat.
The channel's programming, which has been designed to meet the preferences of the region's viewers, offers three themes between 6pm and 9pm and late night. Programmes during the evening slot will rotate among Nat Geo Science, Wildlife and Mega. Nat Geo Science will feature shows that unravel the mysteries of the world and beyond. Wildlife will incorporate the best and most intimate encounters with wildlife ever seen on television, and Mega will showcase the world's most breathtaking mega structures, megacities, mega factories and mega movers.
A different theme will be showcased each week under the 'Theme Week' slot, such as fight science, most amazing moments, food and travel. The channel said between 9pm and 10pm, viewers will be able to see some of the greatest, most action-packed and topical programming.
During prime time, 10pm to 12, from Sunday to Thursday, the channel will showcase programmes based about a different genre each night. Nat Geo Science (Sundays) will feature one-off shows such as incredible human machine and world's most bizarre dinosaurs.
Nat Geo Action (Mondays) will show programmes that will include dangerous encounters, jet man and don't tell my mother.
Nat Geo Confidential (Tuesdays) will focus on real-life investigations. Disastertainment (Wednesdays) will show programmes such as air crash and seconds from disaster. Showcase (Thursdays) will be an open slot showing documentaries about current affairs.
