Material is going to be presented on as many as 4 different channels -- Travel, Science, Animal Planet, and Discovery. Looks pretty detailed too.

See the transformation of a five-acre sleepy cow pasture into a 200-foot mountain and Nepalese village. This special reveals the step-by-step creative process behind the construction, culminating in the unveiling of the replica of one of the most mystical and majestic mountains in the world. Viewers will also meet the revered protector of the mountain, the Yeti, brought to life through awe-inspiring technology and painstaking detail, down to the individual strands of hair in the creature's pelt. 3) Saturday, April 15 8pm ET on Animal Planet...In CORWIN'S QUEST: REALM OF THE YETI, Animal Planet's Jeff Corwin joins an elite team of top scientists on an adventurous mission to search out new animal species in one of the most mysterious regions on earth. This region of Nepal is a remote and unexplored area of the Himalayas, in the shadow of the highest mountains in the world. Under Mount Everest's looming presence, Jeff encounters the area's diverse and exotic wildlife much of which has never been captured on film. Jeff also meets the locals, hears their stories and sees evidence of the creature called “the protector of the mountains.†Real or imagined, the Yeti has a profound conservation influence where huge swathes of land are left untouched because the locals believe the Yeti resides in their depths.
