National Geographic, which launches Jan. 7, will debut the hour-long Science Times on Tuesdays in primetime come June. The initial commitment calls for 26 episodes of Science Times, each consisting of three segments covering the full spectrum of scientific knowledge. The New York Times has published a Science of The Times section, which runs on Tuesdays, since 1979.

In addition, the channel will include “Science Times” segments on its daily show National Geogrpahic Today, which will air at 7 and 10 p.m. Some of the newspaper’s scientific correspondents may also intermittently appear as commentators on the daily program. Former ABC News correspondent Tom Foreman and news anchor Susan Roesgen will co-anchor National Geographic Today.

Under the two-year deal, The Times and National Geographic Channel will provide promotional support touting the respective vehicles.
