Fine Living Network Bulks Up Programming

CANNES: Some 500 hours of new lifestyle content is headed to Fine Living Network for its internationally distributed channel, including a license agreement with Veria for more than 200 hours HD programming.

Among the titles picked up from the Veria catalogue are Feng Shui Living, hosted by Bree Pavey; Everyday Nose, with aromatherapy expert Noelle Katai; and Fed Up, starring natural food chef Andrea Beaman. Addition programming was culled from Scripps Networks’ U.S. channels. This includes House Hunters International, State of Style and Easy Entertaining with Michael Chiarello.

“As we program Fine Living Network internationally, we look for content that upholds the lifestyle brand’s integrity and appeals to the unique tastes of local audiences," said Nick Thorogood, the managing director of Fine Living EMEA. "That’s what we’ve found in these exciting acquisitions, we look forward to working with Veria to offer them to our global viewers.”
