14 DAY TRIAL // BBC is entering a partnership with YouTube to release two new original content channels for science and nature lovers. The British Broadcast Company wishes to “experiment with new forms of creativity.”
YouTube will soon make room for a brand new nature channel from BBC featuring a range of new films created by BBC Earth Productions.
A second channel, completely geared towards science and produced in partnership with 360 Productions, will launch in early 2013. It will be presented by James May “and his crack team of scientists,” the British broadcaster said.
Both channels will react to what’s being watched, shared and talked about, the company said.
Daniel Heaf, EVP & managing director digital at BBC Worldwide said of YouTube, “Not only is it a place to distribute the best British content around the world it will, through our original content, be a place where we can experiment with new forms of creativity. We couldn’t be more thrilled at the prospects this brings our company, indies and audiences alike.”
