ZDF Digital is partnering with localisation company Dubhub to create audio dubs for the YouTube channel Get.factual. The first phase of the collaboration will focus on launching English-language content in Latin American Spanish.
ZDF Digital is the technology and production subsidiary of ZDF, providing digital media services, streaming infrastructure, post-production, and technical solutions for broadcast and online content distribution.
“Partnering with DubHub allows us to bring Get.factual’s world-class documentary content to entirely new audiences. By combining our YouTube channel management expertise with scalable, cost-efficient localisation, we can grow Get.factual into a truly global channel. This collaboration reflects our broader ambition to maximise the international reach of ZDF Studios’ programming through smart, technology-driven distribution,“ said Ben Correale, Head of Channels at ZDF Digital.
“We are excited to work with ZDF Digital and support their innovative approach to bringing original content into new markets through direct-to-consumer platforms such as YouTube. The potential for ZDF’s productions beyond the German language is significant, and global audiences can now be reached through cost-efficient localisation combined with professional YouTube management,” added Fredrik af Malmborg, CEO of Dubhub.
Get.factual is a documentary streaming channel covering history, science, technology, and nature. Its catalogue of programming aims to inform, inspire, and fuel curiosity — from the depths of the ocean to the far reaches of the cosmos.
