The channel was supposed to launch on 7 April 2020.[4] However, due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, the launch was delayed to 27 May 2020.[1] The launch of the channel was used to help bring High dynamic range (HDR) content to Sky Q.[5]

Sky Nature broadcasts original Sky content, content from Canadian channel Love Nature,[6] and Sky's collection of David Attenborough programming.[2][7]

Programming

Sky Nature currently broadcast a variety of nature series, both on the live TV feed and on demand:[8]

  • Wild Tales From The Farm

Branding

The logo consists of the Sky logo coloured green followed by the word "nature" on a green background. The logo originally consisted of a bunch of leaves forming the background where the "nature" text is. It was later changed green.

gollark: Sure there is.
gollark: Yes, like it is conveniently easy in compile errors.
gollark: If it filled it in with some default value it'd be horrible and break.
gollark: There could be times when your syntax was invalid, i.e. a box is empty.
