MUMBAI: National Geographic Channel (NGC) Asia has expanded its Nat Geo Junior block to other Asian countries. This block is already present in India.

The one-hour block is now also airing on the Hong Kong and Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) regional satellite feed. Nat Geo Junior was created to inspire young viewers to explore the world beyond the classroom through its educational and highly engaging documentary programmes.

NGC Asia senior VP (programming and broadcasting) David Gunson says, “National Geographic Channel has always been the trusted partner in exploration, education and conservation. Nat Geo Junior is the perfect companion for teachers, parents and students to explore beyond the classrooms. From the little known facts of how things work to the everyday science and the secrets of the wild, Nat Geo Junior documentary programmes are informative, engaging and offers fresh insight into our world.”

In Asia, Nat Geo Junior is expected to reach over six million households for viewers aged 7 – 16 years.

“We are excited with the launch of Nat Geo Junior in Asia. While National Geographic Channel is about pushing the boundary of the way we understand our modern world, Nat Geo Junior provides a positive, fresh, relevant and trusted learning environment for our young viewers,” adds Gunson.

The current programming lineup includes I Didn’t Know That, Mad Labs as well as the premiering series Wild Detectives.
