JSH-alive: Darn it.
'''National Geographic Global Networks''', formerly '''National Geographic Channels Worldwide''' and '''National Geographic Channels International''', is a business unit within [[National Geographic Partners]] (a joint venture between [[The Walt Disney Company]] and the [[National Geographic Society]]) that oversees the National Geographic-branded television channels: National Geographic, Nat Geo Kids, [[Nat Geo Music]], [[Nat Geo People]] and [[Nat Geo Wild]]. The unit itself was a joint operation between [[21st Century Fox]] (21CF) and the Society, but it was later integrated into the new joint venture National Geographic Partners which they formed in 2015. In March 2019, 21CF's share in National Geographic Partners was assumed by The Walt Disney Company, following [[Acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney|Disney's acquisition of most 21CF businesses]].
In October 2016, it was announced that the National Geographic Channel, the flagship documentary channel, would drop the word "Channel" from its name.<ref></ref>
