National Geographic (formerly National Geographic Channel ; abbreviated and trademarked as Nat Geo or Nat Geo TV ), is an American subscription television channel launched by National Geographic Partners. Its programming is based on approximately 45-minute documentaries on scientific exploration, history, nature and culture, among others.

The National Geographic channels were previously mostly controlled by Fox International Channels, but due to Disney's purchase of 21st Century Fox they are now controlled by Disney and its divisions.
