FYI™ UNVEILS PROGRAMMING SLATE FOR 2017

9 NEW SERIES AND 5 NEW SEASON PREMIERES

NEW YORK, NY – March 27, 2017 – FYI today announced that it will add 9 new original series and returning seasons of 5 hit series, totaling over 100 hours of programming, to its roster in 2017. The announcement was made by Gena McCarthy, EVP of Programming and Development for FYI.

FYI’s programming slate for 2017 features a robust line-up of unscripted content focusing on three core lifestyle genres: food, relationships and home. From following culinary prodigies who compete in cook-offs with their overbearing parents in tow, to the brand-definitional series, “Tiny House Nation,” FYI continues to create new genres and trend-setting content with a younger, more modern sensibility.

FYI’s young and affluent digital audience has grown triple digits across all platforms since January 2015. The brand continues to drive audience engagement and buzz through several short form series, including “Married Life” and “Upgrade My Bae,” where couples get a chance to spice up their partner’s style by turning them into the fantasy “bae” they always dreamed of.

Over the coming months, FYI will announce programming premiere dates for its 2017 roster. Below are some highlights:
