History and IYA2009: working together to benefit astronomy

19 January 2009

The IYA2009 Secretariat is happy to inform that as of today, History is the exclusive international television partner of the IYA2009. This partnership aligns with the IYA2009 Secretariat's objectives of increasing the visibility and maximizing the reach of the IYA2009, reaching large audiences and key markets around the world.

As a IYA2009 Media Partner, History will contribute to promoting IYA2009 and raise awareness of its global activities and events. This support will come in the form of promotion clips and interstitials that will be aired throughout 2009, as well as a special attention given to astronomy related programming in all History channels and special IYA2009 events.

We expect that the partnership agreement now signed between the IYA2009 Secretariat and History will also be very useful for the communication strategy of our national nodes. We therefore encourage the IYA2009 National Nodes to contact the national and regional History delegations and seek similar partnerships. The list of contacts can be found here: http://www.historychannel.tv/
