Animal Planet Nordic is a television channel broadcasting nature-related documentaries to the Nordic countries.
Animal Planet was launched in the Nordic region in 1997.[1] In 2001, the channel received a license to broadcast inthe digital terrestrial network in Sweden. By 2008, the channel had regularly been one of the twenty most watched channels in Sweden for a few years. From 2007, the channel is also broadcast terrestrially in Norway via theRiksTV package.
For its first ten years in existence, the channel used a logo with a globe and an elephant which was also used by its sister channels. On 1 October 2008 the channel switched a new logo, which had previously been adopted byAnimal Planet in the United States.[2]
A high-definition version of the channel, calledAnimal Planet HD, was launched on 3 February 2009. That made the Nordic region the first region to get a high-definition version of Animal Planet after the United States. The high-definition channel used to have a separate schedule in order to broadcast only high-definition programmes.[3]
Animal Planet Nordic has been replaced by the pan-European feed. The commercials onAnimal Planet Europe show three air times depending on the country you live in. The Eastern European time zone is marked with "Suomi" for Finnish viewers.[4]
