Today marked the launch of Travel Channel New Zealand – Sky Channel 77. This fantastic new channel has been customised for New Zealand but is available in over 100 countries in 19 different languages and based out of London.
At the recent media launch of the channel, we met the very lovely Camilla Anderson, one of the presenters (and producers) of the channel’s show World Odessy Adventure. Camilla grew up in New Zealand but now travels the world. In June, Travel Channel will air her episode which she filmed in New Zealand with Georgina Beyer and Temuera Morrison talking with her. Funnily enough, she sad that was one of the hardest episodes to film because she wanted to do her country proud. She’s about to head off and film a new series in the South Pacific.
By chance, I happened to see her show this afternoon and co-incidentally it was about Poland – where I lived for a brief time in 2000. I loved the mix of humor she and co-host Julian bring to travel shows – not those stuffy old boring ones that you can sometimes get on TV. I’ve already season-linked the show.
I think the Travel Channel will be one of those channels you’ll flick over to when you’re bored and get hooked into watching; especially when it’s cold and rainy outsde and travel just seems that little bit more enticing than normal. There’s plenty of shows on offer.
Oh, and ironically the CEO of Travel Channel missed attending the recent media launch and was stuck in London, thanks to the volcanic ash!
