Sony, IMAX and Discovery Announce New 3D Programming

Along with a few expected shows, three new original series will be hitting the 3D channel.

In October we got a glimpse of the upcoming programming for the new joint effort between Sony, Discovery and IMAX. Now we're seeing more, but just a bit more.

A few more existing properties will be heading to 3D, including 'Ghost Lab,' 'Open Season,' and 'Space Station,' an IMAX exploration of the titular space station. More exciting is the trio of new shows coming to the channel.

It all kicks off with 'Bullproof,' a show focusing on bull riding and delivering an up close and personal 3D version of the experience. 'Making the Brand' is a behind-the-scenes look at how the products we use every day are made, and 'High Octane' brings 3D to extreme sports like motocross, jet skiing, rock-climbing and more.

"We continue to move forward aggressively to both create and acquire the most immersive and entertaining 3D programming for television audiences available anywhere," says the venture's president, Tom Cosgrove. "The broad range of series and programs announced today further underscores our ongoing commitment to providing consumers with the highest quality 3D content across a wide variety of genres."

Sony, Discovery and IMAX Announce 3D Programming

The yet unnamed 24/7 3D channel launches in 2011 with plenty of content.

The joint venture of Sony, Discovery, and IMAX has announced a large amount of content for their upcoming 3D channel – the first 24/7 fully programmed 3D television network in the U.S.

The group announced four new original series which trend toward documentary. 'Abandoned Planet' explores cities that have become completely abandoned, 'Africa in 3D' and 'China' have obvious focuses and 'Jewels of the World' explores both natural and cultural wonders like the Grand Canyon and Cambodia's Angkor Wat.

Six exclusive U.S. premiers were announced as well, including the television debut of 'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs' and 'Monster House,' as well as the hour long shows 'Attack of the Giant Jellyfish,' 'The Haunted,' 'Into the Deep 3D' and ' Magnificent Desolation: Walking on the Moon 3D.'

The channel itself will launch in 2011 with all this programming and more.
