Washington - Just one week after launching its Global Media group, the National Geographic Society, one of the world's largest nonprofit scientific and educational organizations, said that it has formed National Geographic Entertainment, a new unit that combines the organization's Cinema Ventures, Feature Films, Kids Entertainment, Home Entertainment and Music & Radio divisions.

David Beal, the former president of Palm Pictures and National Geographic Music & Radio, has been named president of the new unit.

"This new structure allows us to put our entertainment assets together and leverage all of our resources with the full power and global reach of the brand behind us," said Beal.
