Nat Geo Wild
National Geographic Wild (shortened as Nat Geo Wild and abbreviated NGW) is a global wildlife pay television network and the sister network to the National Geographic Channel owned by National Geographic Partners, a joint venture between the Walt Disney Company (73%) and the National Geographic Society (27%). The channel also broadcasts natural history non-fiction programming.
The channel first launched in Hong Kong on 1 January 2006. It later launched in the United Kingdom, Turkey, Ireland, Romania, India, Vietnam, and Poland replacing the now defunct Adventure One. The channel remains the world's first bilingual wildlife service, available in English and Cantonese in the Hong Kong market as well as Tagalog in The Philippines. It launched in Latin America on 1 November 2009 as a high definition channel. In 2010, it launched in the United States.
As of November 2023[update], Nat Geo Wild is available to approximately 36,000,000 pay television households in the United States, down from its 2019 peak of 61,000,000 households.
In recent years, Nat Geo Wild in the United States has lost carriage with the growth of streaming alternatives including its parent company's Disney+, and has generally been depreciated by Disney in current retransmission consent negotiations with cable and streaming providers. Notably, the channel has recently been dropped in negotiations with Charter Spectrum in 2023 (though to be restored in the fall of 2025) and with Verizon Fios in 2025.
The channel was launched in the United States on 29 March 2010, replacing Fox Reality Channel. Providers which carried the channel at the time of its launch included Time Warner Cable, Comcast, Cox Communications, Verizon Fios and AT&T U-verse. Dish Network did not reach a carriage agreement at launch, but began to broadcast the channel on 19 April 2010. DirecTV didn't carry the channel at the time of its launch either, but it added the channel to its lineup on 30 June. DirecTV added the HD feed on 15 August 2012.
The Latin American version of the channel was launched on November 1, 2009 and ended operations on March 31, 2022, with its content moving to NatGeo, Disney+ and Star+.
The channel launched in South Africa on DStv in mid-2009 and is available throughout Sub-Saharan Africa.
In Singapore, the channel is carried on the StarHub TV subscription services. Astro and Unifi TV carried the channel in Malaysia with four language audio tracks included. Some shows on Nat Geo Wild are aired in Filipino (Tagalog) in the Philippines, which also have multiple languages available. Selected shows also aired on Fox Filipino (now defunct).
