Discovery Channel's Shark Week 2020 Featuring “Fintastic” Shark Edutainment And Hollywood Celebrities

I will confess, I have an unexplained fascination with sharks. Granted, I have never got diving or cage diving before to see one of them upclose but have spiralled into the black hole of shark videos on Youtube. Bonus points if the videos are about huge ass megaladons. 

Which is why I am excited that Shark Week is back. For its 32nd year running with bigger sharks and breathtaking breaches from Monday, 31 August to Sunday, 6 September, Shark Week 2020’s “fincredible” lineup will deliver magnificent shark stories and celebrate the 20th anniversary of ‘Air Jaws’. 

Take off with Travel for Love on TLC (Astro Channel 728) This Valentine's Day

Discovery and Astro have teamed up to co-produce a travel lifestyle series for the first time, as part of a three-year content agreement and an extension of their distribution partnership. Called Travel For Love (wt), the unscripted series reinvents the genre of travel shows, with the added element of new relationships in a foreign land. The series sees micro influencers sent on the trip of a lifetime to experience all the magic of a new adventure, and the anticipation of meeting someone for the first time. It is scheduled to air on TLC (Astro Channel 728) at 9.25pm, Discovery’s flagship lifestyle channel.

Travel for Love is a social experiment presenting all the thrills of travel, with a refreshing take on the beginnings of new relationships. Kicking off in the East Malaysian state of Sarawak, the eight-part series will be shot in different parts of Asia. In each episode, the influencer will discover the amazing local flavours, colourful festivities and culture, and also step out of their comfort zones by travelling with individuals outside of their usual sphere of interaction. Will sparks fly as personalities clash, or will things smoulder and perhaps ignite new, intangible connections? Should a connection be formed, viewers can expect bonus digital content, with the tantalizing possibility of second dates and behind-the-scenes moments. The digital element provides viewers with an additional touchpoint and also helps give more depth to the story as each adventure unfolds.

Anna Pak Burdin, Discovery’s Vice President and General Manager for Southeast Asia said, “Powering people’s passions is part of our global DNA. We aim to fuel the interests of our superfans, on television screens and beyond. With this new series, we are marrying two passion points – relationships and travel – into a new format that not only captures the excitement for travel but also reveals the subtle nuances that are unique to Asian culture. We’re very excited to embark on this travelogue with a twist, together with our long-standing partner Astro in Malaysia.”

Relationships and travel are two content pillars that are popular amongst TLC’s viewers in Southeast Asia. Fans relate personally to the real-life aspirations of real people seeking love in programmes such as 90 Day Fiancé and Love at First Swipe, while wanderlusters are inspired by travel shows such as Wondernesia and long-running franchises like Fun Taiwan.

Asia Comic Con Malaysia 2018

Everyone who is into anime, pop culture, comics, games and movies would know that San Diego Comic Con is the creme de la creme of fan events. At that massive event, you can get massive fan meet and greet with the biggest celebrities, major announcements and exclusive swag. Sadly it's still all the way in San Diego and way outside of my budget of RM50. #pokailiao

Fortunately Malaysia is not without a couple of entertainment and anime events with the longest and most well-known being Comic Fiesta. Animangaki is quickly catching up with growing popularity and would most likely outgrown its annual venue of Sunway Pyramid Convention Center in the next couple of years. And this year, another new organiser has joined the fold with the inaugural Asia Comic Con Malaysia.
