BBC Worldwide, the corporation's commercial arm, has launched its first YouTube channel consisting of entirely original content.

Called Earth Unplugged, it was created by the global natural history unit BBC Earth, and the corporation says it will become 'a destination site for wildlife and nature', offering a range of new films created for a digital audience by BBC Earth Productions.

The channel is BBC Worldwide's first original-content service on YouTube, and is expected to be the first of many.

Earth Unplugged, the BBC's first original content YouTube channel - which features entirely new programmes never seen on TV.

'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.'

the is also a news show called Earth Juice, and special version of Walking with dinosaurs and 'Most Dangerous.'

One of the new shows is Amazing Animal Babies, which mixes footage of young animals with educational facts.

Yeah! I look forward to this.

Spose they have worked out that there's good advertising $$$ to be made by offering it on youtube. Nevertheless, I'll be happy to sign up.

Thanks

Drekx Omega You got it, bro....!!

Drekx Omega Absolutely correct, Movella....Anyone who assumes that we are still in 3D, has not noticed that we entered the lower 4D in early 2020 and have absorbed all our 3D gains (lessons) with us....3D served it's purpose, now we are well on the way to…

Justin89636 Nice! that means the next 3 years definitely need to be kept an eye on since the big events are drawing closer. Looking forward to it all :)

Movella Yes, at least we have that time estimate now. Things are certainly progressing as we had hoped..

Justin89636 Yep Drekx said awhile back 4.7 is when we get ready for 5D so we are super close. I'm guessing after Lord Maitreya shows up the GFL show up shortly after.

Movella Yes, exactly Justin.😁 Exciting times ahead for sure..

Justin89636 Yea didn't we hit the 4D Mark in 2020 or something and now we are at 4.3. Looking forward to going up to 4.4 and higher soon.
