Here is how The Smithsonian describes their YouTube Channel:
Smithsonian Channel™ is where curiosity lives, inspiration strikes and wonders never cease. This is the place for awe-inspiring stories, powerful documentaries and amazing entertainment. As a joint venture, Smithsonian Channel combines the storytelling prowess of Showtime Networks with the unmatched resources and rich traditions of the Smithsonian Institution. We create award-winning programming that shines new light on popular genres such as: air and space, history, science, nature, and pop culture.
This is Smithsonian Channel. It’s brighter here™.
The Smithsonian Channel is not alone as a growing number of TV networks are putting full episodes on YouTube. Nat Geo has also posted some full-length content mixed in with their clips. Other networks like TCL and Discovery Channel have focused more on short clips but some run as long as 10 minutes.
