Alpha is targeted mainly at a male audience (25-44 years) and will be available on channel 59 of the national DTT network.  The schedule will focus on “real stories”, developed along three main lines: Man Vs Work, Man vs Nature and Man Vs Man.

Alpha will air both imported programmes and original productions, including docu TV series ‘Airport Security Colombia’, ‘Dubai: the mega airport’ and National Geographic’s ‘Mars’ (from January 2018).
