A+E Networks will rebrand its BIO Channel this summer as FYI, a contemporary lifestyle station, under the leadership of Jana Bennett.
"FYI is defined by the world we live in today - offering viewers a less prescriptive, more adventurous approach to their taste, space, social life and look," said Bennett via a statement. “We are building a new brand that embraces personal creativity and the sharing of the best ideas on air and online.”
FYI will offer more than 30 new series to “inspire, not instruct today’s viewer.”
Programs will be announced early next year. FYI will reach more than 70M homes.
A+E Networks owns A+E Network, Lifetime, History, Crime & Investigation Network, Military History and Lifetime Real Women.
It is a venture between Hearst Corp. and Disney.
