"Back in October, BBC Worldwide announced two new YouTube channels, including a nature channel, delivering new films from its BBC Earth Productions company. Well, the first channel is now live.\r\n\r\nEarth Unplugged features a slew of new films created specifically for an online audience, as the BBC's commercial arm looks to create a &amp;quot;destination site for wildlife and nature.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThis is a landmark moment for BBC Worldwide, as Earth Unplugged is its first original-content channel for YouTube and constitutes part of the company\u2019s plans to build a consumer-facing multi-channel YouTube network.\r\n\r\nOn launch the channel will feature videos for seven new shows:\r\n\r\n\tEarth Juice: Weekly news discussing the latest discoveries in the natural world.\r\n\tMeet My Planet: An intimate look inside the world of people who have been inspired by the natural world.\r\n\tDeadliest...: A spin-off fromof the BBC\u2019s TV show Deadly 60, featuring the ultimate showdowns from the planet\u2019s deadliest animals and inhospitable habitats.\r\n\tWalking with Dinosaurs: Featuring videos created for Earth Unplugged.\r\n\tEarth Files: Nature stories with a digital makeover.\r\n\tZoo La La: Uncovering some extraordinary animal behaviour and Bugface, part of Zoo La La, focuses on insects.\r\n\tAmazing Animal Babies: Featuring films of cute baby animals.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nBBC Worldwide will launch a new \u201Ctopical science channel,\u201D in the new year too, fronted by Top Gear presenter James May.\r\n\r\nYouTube is moving far beyond its original remit as a platform for users to upload cute kitten videos, shifting further into the original content realm. Google recently announced that its original channels programming was going global with country-specific launches in France, Germany and the UK.\r\n\r\nWe can likely expect to see much more original content land on YouTube next year, both from BBC Worldwide and media companies around the world.\r\n\r\n\u27A4 Earth Unplugged | BBC Worldwide"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
