HGTV

Do-it-yourselfers may find it more fun to watch Home & Garden Television (HGTV) than actually doing the work themselves. The HGTV cable network features programming on home and yard improvements, new home building, interior design, and home crafts, among other topics. Popular programs include Design Star, House Hunters, and My First Place. The network is available to nearly 90 million US households and its programming can be seen internationally in more than 45 other countries. In addition, HGTV provides home improvement instruction and information through its website, attracting about 5.2 million readers each month. Launched in 1994, Home & Garden Television is owned by Scripps Networks Interactive.
