Documentary Channel®

LIFE. CAMERA. ACTION.®

Documentary Channel® is a new digital internet entertainment streaming service that aggregates the world’s best documentaries, organizes them, provides context, and allows viewers to see them anywhere, anytime, on any device for a monthly subscription fee of only $4.99. 

Documentary Channel® is a relaunch by Tom Neff and John Forbess of a prior highly successful cable television channel, which they created – the first 24/7 cable network dedicated to documentaries – which aired nationwide from 2006 to 2012 in over 25 million U.S. households. Participant Media purchased the network in 2012, but shortly thereafter abandoned the Documentary Channel name, trademark, brand and programming, thus providing Neff and Forbess the opportunity to relaunch the channel as a streaming service and to re-establish the brand and its dominance in the genre.
