The American factual and documentary company CuriosityStream is rebranding its linear TV channel as just Curiosity, with its subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) service that will now be renamed and rebranded as "Curiosity Stream" as two words.
CuriosityStream, now Curiosity has been carried on MultiChoice's DStv satellite pay-TV service in South Africa and across sub-Saharan Africa on DStv channel 185 for the past year-and-a-half since November 2019.
Curiosity says that the name change of its linear TV channel is being done to "better reflect the dynamic and diverse business that it has become after 6 years of operation".
CuriosityStream was launched by John Hendricks as a global factual streaming service and media company.
Its documentary series and features cover every topic from space exploration to adventure to the secret life of pets for viewers of all ages.
Curiosity reaches more than 175 countries and specializes in factual content ranging from science and technology to history, natural history and lifestyle programming with a library of over 3 000 titles on demand, including over 900 originals such as Pompeii: Disaster Street, Prehistoric Worlds and Stephen Hawking’s Favourite Places.
