Blue Ant Media, an international content producer, distributor and channel operator, has launched Smithsonian Channel on myTV SUPER, bringing the non-fiction brand to the OTT platform’s 8.3 million+ registered users throughout Hong Kong.
The Smithsonian Channel is the latest addition to myTV SUPER from Blue Ant Media’s suite of premium channels, which also carries Blue Ant Entertainment, Blue Ant Extreme and Love Nature 4K. The deal is part of an ongoing partnership between Blue Ant Media and Smithsonian Networks to expand the brand’s footprint internationally.
Smithsonian Channel is affiliated with the Smithsonian Institution, the world’s largest museum, education and research complex. The channel continues to explore subjects from around the globe while breaking new ground with creative ideas, formats and genres that redefine non-fiction programming.
