Duck Dynasty airs on History Asia

MANILA, Philippines - Duck Dynasty, the real-life series that has become the biggest hit on A+E Networks in the US, flies across Asia onto History channel this month, premiering in the Philippines with its first season last April 11, 10 p.m., and airing every Thursday at the same time thereafter.

The show features an eccentric Louisiana bayou family — The Robertsons — who turned a duck call invention into a multi-million dollar sporting empire despite their modest lifestyle and homes in the backwoods. In the household, even the most ordinary family affair is met with a special Robertson twist of down-home practicality and witty sense of humor.

“The Robertsons offer us a unique, off-the-wall family where tradition meets inventiveness and entrepreneurialism, born out of a passion for the age-old tradition of duck-hunting. Duck Dynasty is a window into this slice of life in the Bayou — where squirrel pie is on the menu, camouflage is in the wardrobe and mobile phones keep the business running from the among the reeds. We are extremely excited to bring the phenomenal hit to History audiences across Asia,” said Michele Schofield, SVP for Programming at AETN All Asia Networks.

Duck Dynasty’s Season 3 premiere in the US brought in a whopping 8.6 million total viewers, making it the No. 1 telecast in A+E Network history.

The show was also the most social show on television that night. According to Trendrr TV, Blufin Labs and Social Guide, the series had more total activity across all major social media platforms than any other telecast on television for the night with both episodes ranking No. 1 and No. 2 ahead of American Idol.

History is available on SKYcable Ch. 67, Cable Link Ch. 44., Dream Satellite Ch. 30 and Destiny Cable Ch. 57.
