The eight-week deal involves sponsorship of programmes, including 'Megastructures' and 'Wild Things' and also includes an online link-up, with a specially created Pioneer microsite available through the channel's website.
Marc Mendoza, MPG managing partner, said: "National Geographic Channel provides the ideal platform for Pioneer to raise the profile of its cutting-edge HDTV products.
"This innovative cross-media sponsorship deal will undoubtedly allow Pioneer to position itself as the HDTV brand of choice in the UK."
