Encompass powers Blue Ant Media’s Love Nature UHD channel in Netherlands
October 15, 2025
Encompass Digital Media has announced the successful delivery of a new Love Nature UHD channel in the Netherlands for Blue Ant Media, an international streamer, production studio and rights-management business. The launch brings a dedicated Love Nature with more local programming to Dutch audiences, while also supporting its established ad sales business in the market.
The project builds on Encompass and Blue Ant Media’s two-year relationship, during which Encompass has successfully launched three previous Love Nature UHD channels across LATAM, EMEA and APAC. This fourth Love Nature launch in the Netherlands on UHD further strengthens the collaboration and underlines Encompass’ role as a trusted partner for international channel services.
The newly-launched channel brings Blue Ant’s globally renowned wildlife programming to Dutch audiences while continuing to be supported by a commercial advertising model.
Delivery of the new service required close coordination between multiple stakeholders in Canada, the UK, and the Netherlands, including Blue Ant’s scheduling supplier and its local ad sales partner. Managed from the Encompass Riga facility and powered by its Altitude cloud-based playout platform, the project introduced a new advertising workflow and media supply chain, delivered on time and to specification.
“Encompass has been instrumental in helping us bring a dedicated Love Nature channel to Dutch audiences with a strong ad-supported model,” Chiara McKee, VP EMEA Global Channels & Streaming at Blue Ant Media. “Their project management, speed of delivery and ability to adapt workflows to new commercial requirements have been key to this very successful launch.”
“Our partnership with Blue Ant Media continues to go from strength to strength,” said Paul Firth, Managing Director EMEA and APAC, at Encompass. “This latest successful launch demonstrates both the flexibility of our Altitude playout solution and our ability to manage complex, multi-stakeholder deployments, delivering UHD content reliably and at scale.”
