Stingray Naturescape
Stingray Naturescape is a Canadian-based specialty television channel owned by Stingray Group. The channel primarily broadcasts a rotation of various nature scenery videos with accompanying audio from the nature scene pictured with sometimes non-verbal music added to create a "soothing" atmosphere. During the Christmas and holiday season, the channel will broadcast videos of a crackling fireplace during portions of the day, primarily evening, night, and early morning hours. The channel will also broadcast the fireplace, without music, every day of the year from 6:00pm–11:00pm. The channel broadcasts in both high definition and 4K resolution (ultra-high-definition television). HistoryOn February 20, 2013, Stingray Digital was granted approval from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to launch The Seasonal Channel, described as "a national, niche, no spoken word specialty Category B service featuring still pictures and moving video of nature scenes with appropriate music that would change based upon the season to create a soothing video environment."[1] The channel later launched in September 2014 as Stingray Ambiance on Vidéotron in high-definition only.[2] In September 2015, the channel launched a second 4K UHD feed under the Stingray Ambiance 4K moniker initially on Vidéotron, marking the first 4K television channel in the Stingray portfolio.[3] Since the channel's original launch in Canada, it has since been launched in multiple countries spanning several continents including Germany,[4] Mexico,[5] Portugal,[6] and Indonesia,[7] among others. In early 2020, while maintaining the same programming concept, the channel was renamed Stingray Naturescape.[8][9] References
