Silver Spring, Md. – Discovery Communications announced that it is expanding its international portfolio of HD networks with the launch of Animal Planet HD. The new standalone HD service will roll out on the Canal Digital platform in Scandinavia on February 3. Offering a standalone schedule and 100 per cent 1080i HD content, Animal Planet HD will showcase wildlife and natural history entertainment in premium high-definition. Animal Planet HD will bring viewers even closer to the animal world with immersive programs such as In Too Deep, which offers a breathtaking look some of the planet’s harshest climates; Pandamonium, profiling the battle to save one of the world’s most loved animals; and Groomer Has It, a tongue-in-cheek look at the primping and preening of man’s best friend.
