History

Adventure One (A1) launched on 1 November 1999 being rebranded on 1 May 2007 as National Geographic Adventure, strengthening the overall Nat Geo presence.[3] All countries adopted the change, except in Europe which instead changed A1 to Nat Geo Wild.[4] Nat Geo Adventure is also a global adventure travel video and photography portal, which launched worldwide in 2009.[1]

Nat Geo Adventure was aimed at younger audiences, providing programming based around outdoor adventure, travel and stories involving people having fun while exploring the world.

In early 2008, National Geographic Adventure Channel Australia and National Geographic Adventure Channel Italy launched a new video sharing feature on their website called Blognotes.

The change will see the channel become more female focused, with programming to focus on people and cultures.[2] Nat Geo People was replaced by Nat Geo Wild in Germany and Austria on the 12th of September 2017.
