Alchimie launches Species channel on Watch It!

Alchimie has launched Species, a subscription over-the-top channel focused on wildlife and the natural world, as part of its Watch It! app as well as on other platforms.

The channel, which is available for £4.99 per-month after one-month trial, rolls out with 120 hours of content, including an underwater series called The Blue Realm from Canadian distributor Canamedia.

“The natural world provides an unmatched resource for remarkable stories that programme-makers can turn into compelling television,” said Alchimie CEO Nicolas d’Hueppe.

“We are thrilled to have partnered with Canamedia to show The Blue Realm and hope to build on this with more factual series and documentaries in the future.”

Species will be available via Watch It! and on: Vodafone and 02 in the UK; T-Mobile in Germany; and Orange, SFR and Bouygues Telecom in France. Viewers can also access it through the Android TV, Google Play and iOS Mobile platforms.
