Love Nature

International content producer, distributor and channel operator, Blue Ant Media has signed a new deal with A1 Telekom Austria Group to extend the distribution of its channel, Love Nature, on A1 pay TV platforms in Central and Eastern Europe.

The wildlife and nature channel that airs in Austria and Bulgaria will now also exist on A1 Pay-tv platforms in Croatia, North Macedonia and Slovenia.

Following the deal, A1 Group will also provide technical satellite services for Love Nature by up-linking the channel to the Apstar-7 satellite from the A1 Teleport in Aflenz, Austria. It will enable the linear channel to be received by all key operators in the rapidly growing Asian market.

Elena Petrova, head of group content procurement and broadcasting, international business at A1 Group, said: “Our new agreement with Blue Ant Media is allowing even more TV homes in Europe and Asia to enjoy the great wildlife content of Love Nature in beautiful picture and sound quality.”

Chiara McKee, VP EMEA Love Nature & global media at Blue Ant Media added: “We are thrilled about this milestone agreement with A1, which not only substantially expands our household reach across the A1 footprint in the CEE region, including three new markets (Croatia, N. Macedonia & Slovenia) for the Love Nature linear channel, but we are now also benefiting from their highly reliable satellite service provisioning for the Asian market through the Apstar-7 satellite.”
