Earth-Touch is a wildlife documentary company based in South Africa and funded out of the United States. Over the last two years, Earth-Touch has pioneered a rapid filming and production cycle using High Definition cameras and satellites, enabling wildlife to be filmed, packaged and broadcast to global audiences within 48 hours of it being shot.

From these daily feeds, Earth-Touch currently produces the following broadcast programming:

  • Half-hour ‘Wild Touch’ programmes for SABC 2, five days a week, South Africa, the content of which was all shot in the last 48 hours.
  • One daily five-minute filler for Channel 10 in Australia, seven days a week.
  • One half hour highlights package for Channel 10 in Australia, which repeats roughly twice a day during the week
  • For MNet, two weekly 57 minute shows on their new HD channel. Show One is a Earth-Touch weekly highlights package, which showcases footage shot that week, and the second show is a compilation of some of the best footage from my extensive archive. Both are broadcast during prime time, the first from 6pm to 7pm on a Sunday night, and the second from 7.30 to 8.30 on Tuesday night.
  • In addition, we provide 100 minutes of filler material every two to three weeks. Each filler is five minutes in duration and will be sprinkled on the HD channel
In the New Media space, Earth-Touch ‘narrowcasts’ in a number of ways:
  • All of the daily crew feeds are available on www.earth-touch.com, which currently hosts over 800 individual clips, with roughly three new clips being added daily.  The site is currently being visited by around 12 000 unique visitors a month.
  • The same clips are available for viewing and download on a number of new media distribution platforms, including VUZE, YouTube
  • Every week a highlights package is made available via RSS through Apples iTunes, Miro and the Earth-touch site. The HD version of this feed currently has around 3000 subscribers, who collectively have downloaded over 100 000 individual podcasts, primarily in the United States.
