TCA 2010: Complete Coverage of the Winter Press Tour
Looking to continue its Nielsen momentum with adults and
women 18 to 49, Bravo will expand its lineup by another 20% in 2010.
Bravo executive vice president and general manager Frances
Berwick, who said the network has registered 17% consecutives quarters of
year-over-year growth among adults 18 to 49, announced the pick-up of a pair of
docuseries, while outlining the starting dates for a slew of returning series
at the TCA winter press tour.
"Bravo continues to grow our highly engaged audience,
powered by the network's signature characters, talented experts and their
aspirational lifestyles," said Berwick. "Developing shows around
these addictive personalities is the secret sauce in allowing us to nearly
double our original hours over the past three years, and to feed that passion
across all consumer touchpoints."
Bravo has ordered Bethenny's Getting Married, giving
viewers a deeper look at the breakout star from The Real Housewives of New
York City. Viewers will follow the outspoken New York City socialite as she juggles her
love life, plans a wedding and prepares for baby, while managing her busy
schedule and career as a natural foods chef. In between, she's writing a pair
of books on healthy living.
Meanwhile, Bravo is also bringing back elite gym trainer
Jackie Warner to Work Out again. In ThisIntervention With Jackie
Warner, Bravo will show Warner kicking butt and inspiring her overweight
clients to make drastic lifestyle changes.
Bravo also confirmed new season orders for a third season of
celebrity stylings with The Rachel Zoe Project; a sixth season of
