We believe in the power of places to inspire, entertain and inform. Telling their stories is our mission. But in this age of fractured media, too often great stories don’t reach the mass audiences they deserve. That’s why we created the Parks Channel as both a production company and a platform.

As veterans of Smithsonian Channel, National Geographic and Discovery, we’ve produced and commissioned hundreds of hours of award-winning, premium factual entertainment, specializing in natural history, history and science.

We know how to craft compelling stories without compromising on quality or accuracy. We work with the best non-fiction producers in the world.

Whether it’s for broadcast, streaming, digital distribution or theater, long-form or short-form, video or emerging technologies like AR and VR – we can help bring your mission-critical stories to life.
