National Geographic Channel International has announced the acquisition of 25 hours of original programming from VOOM's extensive HD catalogue as part of its continuing HD roll out.

"We are delighted to partner with Rainbow Media Holdings & ID Distribution. It is a valuable step forward as part of NGCI's commitment to expanding our global HD content," said Sydney Suissa, Executive Vice President of Content, NGCI.

ID Distribution (IDD) the exclusive international distributor for Rainbow Media concluded the distribution deal with NGCI. "NGCI has a robust global reputation, and Rainbow owns the largest and most diverse suite of HD channels worldwide," commented Sandy Miles of IDD. "This is a natural union and a tremendous benefit to international audiences who can now revel in the kind of breathtaking footage only capable in HD. We are delighted to have helped make this happen."

With content primarily coming from Rainbow's adrenalin-filled RUSH HD, some of the titles include "Pororoca, Quest for the Endless Wave" (1x 60'), "On a Single Breath" (1x60'), "Angel Falls" (1x60'), and Free Flight (1x60').

"While the global landscape is ripe for HD technology and entertainment, it is also sorely lacking in terms of the supply of high-quality HD content available, Rainbow has always prided itself in developing innovative and popular content with a high value to viewers, and we look forward to working with National Geographic Channels International and ID Distribution to deliver this value to a whole new international audience." said Glenn Oakley, Rainbow's Senior Vice President, Business Development.

HAHA! Everyone complaining about Voom's repetitiveness, clamoring for new HD channels...and they're going to be filled with Voom material!

Me thinks that DISH won't be carrying NGHD, and Direct won't be carrying Voom any time soon.
 
this is for the ngc international channel. But still interesting that they want voom programming
