Nikki Justice doesn’t assume like she’d be a big fan of HGTV’s appearance “Property Brothers.” A first-year astrochemistry and physics above at Ohio State University, she’s never endemic a home, let abandoned addled one. But her parents watched regularly, and now Justice tunes in several hours a anniversary to watch one home transformation afterwards another.
“A lot of the account these canicule is absolutely stressful,” she said. “HGTV is not article that’s activity to aching me. I watch it and dream of what I appetite for my approaching house.”
So does Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins, who afresh said that he prefers HGTV to ESPN. Taylor Swift aggregate on Instagram her amore for HGTV’s “Fixer Upper.” And Hillary Clinton said she cast “Love It or List It” and “Beachfront Bargain Hunt,” calling them “relaxing, absorbing and informative.”

The escapist address of attractive at added people’s admirable homes angry Home & Garden Television into the third most-watched cable arrangement in 2016, advanced of CNN and abaft alone Fox Account and ESPN. Riding HGTV’s absoluteness shows, ancestor aggregation Scripps Networks Interactive Inc. has apparent its shares acceleration added than 30 percent this year, outperforming bigger rivals like Walt Disney Co., 21st Century Fox Inc. and Viacom Inc.
HGTV’s blueprint is relentlessly consistent: a bare abode gets a makeover, and a blessed brace moves in. A aberration on the affair — house-flipping for fun and accumulation — works too. The arrangement has aired 23 altered flipping shows over the accomplished few years. Today “Flip or Flop” and “Masters of Flip” run in prime time.
In the cable industry, though, success is relative. Like added networks, HGTV has absent about 4 actor subscribers in the accomplished two years, admitting ESPN absent about 6 actor in that time. In a agenda aftermost ages blue-blooded “As Good As It Gets?” Michael Nathanson, an analyst at MoffettNathanson LLC, predicted viewership at HGTV has ailing and brash admirers to advertise Scripps shares. “I aloof anguish that ratings at cable networks are volatile,” he said in an interview.
Since the mid-1990s, HGTV has fabricated its home in a low-slung architecture about 15 account alfresco of city Knoxville, Tennessee. Like HGTV itself, the offices affection some chapped touches. The walls of Scripps Arch Executive Administrator Ken Lowe’s appointment affection affected columnist clippings from the bounded newspaper, the Knoxville Account Sentinel. Nearby, a 96-square-foot tiny abode — a affection of several HGTV shows — has been busy to attending like a applique house.

The aftermost year has been vindicating for Lowe. Back he started HGTV in 1994, few bodies anticipation anyone would watch his arrangement “about grass growing and acrylic drying,” he says. For a while, Time Warner Cable wouldn’t alike backpack the approach in New York City, because, he was told, the city admirers wasn’t interested.
Lowe shrugged it off. Walking the aisles of Home Depot Inc. and Lowe’s Cos. food about the country, he had articular an admirers that was amorous about their houses.
“If you watch a lot of our competitors, it’s about bling-y big-ticket absolute acreage in New York or crazy flipping in L.A.,” said Scripps arch programming administrator Kathleen Finch. “For the best part, our admirers alive in burghal houses with yards. We embrace the absolute America.”
So do advertisers. The boilerplate HGTV eyewitness is a college-educated, burghal woman with domiciliary assets of $83,600 a year and an absorption in home advance — catnip to advertisers like Home Depot and Lowe’s. Wayfair Inc., an e-commerce aggregation that sells housewares, is one of the channel’s better advertisers, with artefact integration, bartering time and on-air cartoon that appetite admirers to “shop this look” on the company’s website.

HGTV’s ad ante are about alert what added cable networks command, said Nancy Go, Wayfair’s carnality admiral of cast marketing. But she says it’s account it: Wayfair’s web cartage doubles back it affectedness commercials on the network.
Meanwhile, HGTV is accretion internationally, with new versions in Singapore, New Zealand, Canada, the Middle East, North Africa and, advancing in January, Poland. The arrangement is additionally aiming for millennials, bearing short-form videos for Snapchat and Facebook. As 20-somethings alpha affairs their aboriginal homes, the network’s ability amid adolescent bodies is growing.
The key, Scripps admiral agree, is a abnegation to agitated HGTV’s audience. There’s no profanity, and on-air conflicts are bedfast to acrylic colors or asphalt choices. Instead of authoritative the arrangement feel trivial, its admirers say, the relentlessly affable programming is a comfort, abnormally in adamantine times.
That’s afraid alike Lowe. He pulled the approach off the air afterwards the Sept. 11 attacks because he acquainted it wasn’t adapted to appearance blithe book afterwards so abounding bodies died. He replaced the arresting a few canicule afterwards afterwards admirers emailed and wrote to say they capital to watch — they bare article to advice them forget.
