Steve Hornsey, Narrative Entertainment’s VP Movies & Entertainment, says “Narrative Entertainment is excited to invite even more new viewers to enjoy our growing GREAT! Network with the addition of GREAT! Real, our first channel dedicated to non-scripted storytelling. With an array of observational series focusing on dramatic real-life events and human stories, GREAT! Real will take audiences to the heart of the action with an exciting, engaging and relatable content mix that perfectly complements our existing brands.”
Content will include Heathrow: Britain’s Busiest Airport; Paddington Station 24/7; Island Medics; Emergency Rescue: Air, Land and Sea; and Coast Guard Alaska.
Last year, the GREAT! Network expanded its digital offer with FAST channels and the introduction of an on-demand service, the GREAT! Player, on the red button. The linear channels were also made available nationwide in July.
