Highlights of the programming that subscribers will be able to enjoy on Olleh TV’s SVOD service include Mission to the Edge of Space, a documentary on the historic Red Bull Stratos mission featuring never-before-seen footage and interviews with “supersonic man” Felix Baumgartner and his team; the Extreme CollXtion magazine programme that brings together the best of action sports each week; and series like Break’n Reality, which provides a rare look into the private and personal worlds of top breakdancers, and eXplorers – Adventures of the Century, which profiles a dozen of the world’s most extraordinary adventurers as they brave previously unexplored challenges on land, sea and sky.
