eXplore will replace People's Planet and offer a broad mix of real-world stories based on the premise that our everyday world is stranger than we imagine, says the platform.
The programming moves between the natural world, life-or-death stories of survival and the darker side of human behaviour. Viewers can expect wildlife and conservation titles alongside documentaries, real-life mysteries and true-crime investigations.
Adding eXplore reflects Openview's continued focus on bringing variety to viewers, adds the platform.
The launch-day evening line-up begins with wildlife and conservation titles before moving into true crime and investigations of real events. It includes Cheetah Diaries at 18:00, Chameleons of the World at 18:25, Kalahari Meerkats at 19:20, Endangered with Michaela Strachan at 19:45, Evil Unmasked: The Station Strangler at 20:10 and A Mother's Madness at 21:00, says the platform.
Openview thanks People's Planet for the nature, sustainability and outdoor programming it has brought to viewers.
eXplore will be available on Openview Channel 115 from 1 September, concludes the platform.
