New year, new you, new network!
After a fabulously cozy trial run on Discovery+ last year, the cheerful, homespun lifestyle hub known as Magnolia Network is finally ready for launch. Curated by honchos Joanna and Chip Gaines, the channel — which rebrands the existing DIY Network on January 5 —is chockful of programming that fits in with their vibe, covering everything from home projects and barn building to cooking shows and TV classics. Imagine their Hearth & Hand pop-ups in Target come to life.
“It wasn’t long ago that watching TV meant time together as a family. It was a place where people of all ages could gather and be informed, entertained, and inspired by the kind of honest, authentic programming that brings people closer,” say Chip and Joanna Gaines in their official release. “That’s what we’ve set out to build with Magnolia Network and we’ve been amazed by the stories and storytellers we’ve found, people whose lives are living proof that our world is full of beauty, hope, courage, and curiosity. We can’t wait to see these stories brought to life on cable this January, and we’re hopeful about the impact it might have—to help reclaim the best of what television can be.”
