AUTENTIC AND TERRA MATER STUDIOS ANNOUNCE NEW FAST CHANNEL TERRA MATER WILD AT MIPCOM
Munich/Vienna, 16 October 2023. Factual specialist Autentic and internationally acclaimed film production company Terra Mater Studios have announced the launch of "Terra Mater WILD", a joint nature and wildlife FAST channel.
"Terra Mater WILD" will let viewers experience nature and wildlife through engaging stories and jaw-dropping pictures. The channel consists of Terra Mater Studios award-winning blue-chip wildlife productions as well as selected 3rd party wildlife and nature content.
Starting November 15th "Terra Mater WILD" will be available on Samsung TV Plus in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and will be successively expanded to additional platforms.
After launching five international as well as German-language FAST channels within the last year, including "Autentic History" and "Autentic Travel", "Terra Mater WILD" is the sixth channel in Autentic’s portfolio of high-quality factual FAST channels.
The joint channel builds on the successful partnership of Terra Mater Studios, a subsidiary of Red Bull, and Autentic, a joint venture between Patrick Hörl and Jan Mojto's Beta Film. As of the beginning of this year the sales division of Autentic, Autentic Distribution, is representing the factual portfolio of Terra Mater Studios, which includes wildlife documentaries like SCOTLAND – THE NEW WILD (3 × 50') and RAPTORS (2 × 50').
Patrick Hörl, Managing Director & Founder of Autentic:"Terra Mater Studios' commitment to producing exceptional wildlife content in combination with Autentic’s experience in the channel business is truly a perfect fit. We are excited to further strengthen our successful partnership and aim to captivate audiences with awe-inspiring natural history documentaries that not only educate but also leave a lasting impact."
Walter Köhler, CEO & Founder of Terra Mater Studios:"The rise of FAST has been evident for several years now, and the desire for natural history content on this platform is immense. With Terra Mater's extensive library of 300+ hours of critically acclaimed natural history programming and Autentic's channel-building expertise, it was only natural for us to collaborate on the launch of our joint FAST channel, Terra Mater WILD. We're excited to soon make our debut on Samsung TV Plus, a premium provider, and look forward to expanding our partnership in the future."
