Munich-based Autentic specialises in high-quality documentaries and factual series for the international market. OneGate Media is a leading German distribution and production company for film and TV and belongs to the Studio Hamburg Group.

Autentic and OneGate Media will jointly supply the channel with their catalogues. OneGate Media will manage the tech platform while Autentic will handle the distribution and programming of Adventure Earth. At launch, the new channel will include titles such as Masai Mara, The Animal Within and The Wild Andes.

Tania Reichert-Facilides, managing director OneGate Media, said: “We welcome Adventure Earth to our channel family. We bring strong VOD expertise to the collaboration. We operate more than 30 national and international channels, and this FAST channel is the successful start of our new cooperation.”

Patrick Hörl, managing director Autentic, added: “Autentic has always been first and foremost about top-notch and relevant content, so partnering with OneGate Media to launch Adventure Earth is only a logical step for us. Captivating stories about sustainability and biodiversity in nature and wildlife are more popular than ever.”
