National Geographic Adventure Information

National Geographic Adventure, formerly known as Adventure One (A1) but now commonly known as Nat Geo Adventure, is a subscription TV channel part of National Geographic Channels International and News Corporation. It is aimed at younger audiences, providing programming based around outdoor adventure, travel and stories involving people having fun while exploring the world.

Australia, Asia Pacific, Europe and the Middle East retained the use of the new adventure channel, yet the United Kingdom which previously broadcast A1 decided to replace it with Nat Geo Wild.[1]

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.

In 2010, Nat Geo Adventure launched their High Definition channel (HD) in Asia via AsiaSat 5.

The channel was originally branded Adventure One (A1) from it launch on 1 January 1994 until 1 May 2007 when it relaunched with a new brand, stengthening the overall Nat Geo presence.[2] All countries adopted the change, except the United Kingdom which instead changed A1 to Nat Geo Wild. Nat Geo Adventure is also a global adventure travel video and photography portal, launching worldwide in 2009. Nat Geo Adventure
