The Style Network Picks Up Career-Competition Series

LOS ANGELES, February 29:
The Style Network has acquired 13 episodes of Beyond Distribution’s
reality-competition series Making it Big, premiering March 5 at 7 p.m.

Each hour-long episode of Making
it Big features a different
profession and three experienced participants looking for their big break. The
contestants must complete a pressure-filled challenge in their field of work,
while under the watch of a panel of experts. The individual judged to be the
top performer—based on the quality of their work and ability to function
under pressure—will be named the winner and is rewarded with an
opportunity to work with a leader in their field.

"Style viewers love
engaging shows that feature real people, overcoming real obstacles and armed
with real advice from the experts," said Katie Buchanan, the director of
programming and acquisitions for The Style Network. "In addition to being
fun to watch, the new career-competition series, Making it Big, offers a sneak peek at some of the most exciting,
creative careers out there and hopefully inspires viewers to pursue their own
dream job opportunities."
