Kasia Jablonska, Director of Digital and On-Demand at BBC Studios says: “The launch of BBC Earth is a testament to the strength of the BBC’s brands and global appeal. BBC Studios has seen exponential growth in the FAST space over the past few years and this is down to the quality of the content catalogue.”
