Viasat Nature is a 24-hour channel, broadcasting in Central and Eastern Europe, Russia, Scandinavia and Commonwealth of Independent States.

Viasat Nature acquires programming from international distributors and production houses.

The content on Viasat Action was gradually shifted to include more crime series such as Law & Order and CSI.

After several years as a six-hour channel, Viasat Nature/Crime extended its broadcasting hours on 1 February 2007.

In its early years, the Swedish shopping channel TVG filled up much of the daytime schedule.
