Earth Productions.
The channel is BBC Worldwide's first original-content service on
YouTube, and is expected to be the first of many.
With Earth Unplugged we're seeking to connect a new audience with the world around them,' Amanda Hill, the managing director for BBC Earth at BBC Worldwide, said.
'YouTube offers a fantastic opportunity to reach people and grab
their attention with innovative nature content that will captivate and
inspire.'
The BBC has previously kept most of its programming inside its
iPlayer software, while other broadcasters such as Channel 4 have put full
shows (with adverts) both on YouTube and their own on demand services.
Shows available include Amazing Animal Babies, which the
corporation says 'is a must for anyone needing a weekly uplift' and features
'stunning films of cute baby animals revealing the extraordinary stories these
infants have to tell.'
There is also a news show
called Earth Juice, and special version of Walking with dinosaurs and 'Most
Dangerous.'
YouTube.com/EarthUnplugged is currently showing videos for seven new
natural history shows:
- Earth Juice is a weekly news show discussing the latest discoveries in the natural world.
- Meet My Planet features interviews with people with a passion for nature, including explorers, naturalists, filmmakers, artists and musicians.
- Deadliest... is a YouTube exclusive spinoff of the BBC's Deadly 60, featuring the 'ultimate showdowns from the planet's deadliest animals'.
- Walking with Dinosaurs brings exclusive dinosaur videos for Earth Unplugged, including the new sketchosaurus.
- Earth Files takes nature stories and gives them a digital makeover with graphics and music.
- Zoo La La travels the world to explore extraordinary animal behaviour. It also features the Bugface insect show.
- Amazing Animal Babies features the stories of cute baby animals.
