作為專為狗狗設(shè)計(jì)的頻道,此頻道旨在“讓你最好的最愛的伙伴(狗狗們)不再感到孤獨(dú)”。
The advertising-free programming is aimed at stay-at-home dogs whose out-to-work masters fret about the separation anxiety their pets suffer, and the trouble they get into, when left unattended for long stretches of time.
狗狗頻道將不播送廣告,它的主要受眾為那些主人出門時(shí)被單獨(dú)留在家中的狗狗們。主人們擔(dān)心這些狗狗會由于長時(shí)間無人陪伴,而出現(xiàn)分離焦慮癥并產(chǎn)生問題。
Billed as the first channel of its kind, DOGTV made its premiere in February as a free, around-the-clock offering carried by cable in San Diego, reaching some 483,000 homes in California's second-largest city.

The content is scientifically tailored for four-legged audiences, with even the sound, colours and camera angles adjusted to make them more appealing to canines according to the channel's website.
根據(jù)頻道官方網(wǎng)站的介紹,節(jié)目的內(nèi)容是按科學(xué)方法量身為狗狗觀眾們定制的。為了讓狗狗觀眾們更感興趣,節(jié)目的聲音、色彩和攝像角度都是特別設(shè)計(jì)的。
Fancy effects aside, the star turns on DOGTV turn out to be none other than other dogs.
除了這些有趣的特效外,在狗狗頻道上出現(xiàn)的“明星”都是狗狗。
"They love watching other dogs being active on the screen" said Beke Lubeach, head of marketing for DOGTV, adding that birds, monkeys and zebras have proven popular as well.
