National Geographic Ventures Launches Music and Radio Division

Washington - National Geographic Ventures (NGV), a unit of the National Geographic Society that creates and distributes the organization's content across multiple platforms, said on Thursday that it has launched National Geographic Music and Radio (NGMR).

The new division, headed by former Palm Pictures President David Beal, will distribute and promote National Geographic's music through various platforms including radio, TV, films, magazines and digital media.

It also will oversee the production of projects from artists actively involved in environmental and cultural issues, including Jack Johnson, Ben Harper and Peter Gabriel. NGMR launches with several distribution partners, including Clear Channel, Salem Communications and NPR.

"Music is an integral part of history and culture and brings geography to life," said Beal. "Through our various units, we will be able to create an emotional connection for our listeners with the planet." Beal recently worked with National Geographic on the launch of its WorldMusic.NationalGeographic.com site.
