SATURDAY MORNINGS ARE ABOUT TO GET WILD

NAT GEO WILD PARTNERS WITH NAT GEO KIDS TO CREATE NAT GEO WILDKiDS PROGRAMMING BLOCK

(PASADENA, C.A. - Jan. 6, 2016) Nat Geo WILD is bringing its signature brand of wildlife programming to Saturday mornings, every kid's favorite time of the week. The network announced today a partnership with the award-winning National Geographic Kids brand to create an all-new television destination for young audiences that will inspire a new generation of adventurers. Nat Geo WILDKiDS airs Saturday mornings beginning March 5, 2016, from 7/6c to 9/8c on Nat Geo WILD. For more information, visit our press web site at www.foxflash.com, or follow us on Twitter using @NGC_PR.

"Kids have so much love for animals and the wild world around us that we wanted to create something totally unique to fuel their passion and natural curiosity," said Geoff Daniels, executive vice president and general manager, Nat Geo WILD. "By tapping into Nat Geo Kids' incredibly popular original web series, apps, photography and talent, we'll deliver something that doesn't just entertain but inspires a new generation of digitally savvy kids."

Nat Geo WILDKiDS will feature natural history, science, and wildlife content. Spearheading the line-up will be two original productions from emerging talent within the WILD family. First, Nature Boom Time is a fast-paced adventure series designed to grab kids' attention and get them psyched about nature. In each episode, young viewers join 2014 National Geographic Expedition Granted winner Charlie Engleman (@WorldByCharlie) on an adventure across the U.S. Together, they will explore some of the nation's coolest forests from a new perspective - literally climbing the tallest trees, flying over vast canopies and studying hidden treasures on the woodland floor.

Filipe DeAndrade (@deandradeuf), adventure filmmaker and winner of Nat Geo WILD's second annual Wild to Inspire short-film competition, will document his month-long safari in Africa through video diaries and short vignettes designed to inspire future conservationists, in a soon-to-be titled project.

Saturday mornings will also showcase a collection of popular online series from Nat Geo Kids, including 50 Birds, 50 States featuring an animated rapping bald eagle; excerpts from the "kid on the street" quiz show Real or Fake, and characters from Iggy Arbuckle and the popular virtual world, Animal Jam.

Rounding out the schedule, Nat Geo WILDKiDs will offer exciting segments from some of Nat Geo WILD's and National Geographic Channel's most beloved shows, including: Dog Whisperer, Everything You Didn't Know About Animals, The Incredible Dr. Pol, Vet School, World's Weirdest and Brain Games, among others.
