Sometimes Paul and I have so many events and gigs to go to - our schedule gets really crazy and we love it even if it can be tiring but there's also a side of us that just likes to just sit back, chill at home and watch TV (while Paul edits photos and I write) and one of our go-to channels is BIO. :)
We love their Home Renovation shows, whether it is Extreme Make Over or Flipping Vegas/San Diego/Boston or Reno vs. Relo (we're always rooting for Reno) There are times when we lose sleep just watching their shows and weekends are just better kicking back, relaxing and checking out their food and travel shows also.
And as if things can't get any better - BIO being re-branded as FYI - For Your Inspiration, Innovation, Imagination and personally I cannot agree more to the direction to which the channel is taking, all those hours watching their shows definitely gets us inspired - to travel, to taste new food and watching all those renovation shows lets us dream of awesome designs (photo studio included for Paul) for our future home. :)
Here are some of the things to look forward to with the new FYI!
In a Press Release dated last September 19, the re-branding of BIO to FYI aims to give each viewer a personalized experience. "The network embraces the way audiences really live their lives - proudly -hyphenated and not constrained by one passion or interest. Never an instruction manual and always an inspiration engine (I love that line!) FYI offers viewers a more adventurous, personalized and non-prescriptive approach to programming with a range of stories that reflect how people actually live their lives today, not defined by just one passion or interest.
"FYI's mission is to inspire personal creativity that emphasizes improvised living, while reflecting our authentic slate of programming" says Michele Schofield, Senior VP, Programming & Marketing at A+E Networks Asia. "And with its rich mix of inspirational content, the new channel's Asian premiere is sure to bring its viewers a season of quality entertainment."
FYI will feature over 300 hours of original content each year across four programming genres taste, space, look and journey. FYI will include locally commissioned productions and local acquisitions.
Here are some of the shows to look forward to on FYI
TINY HOUSE NATION
One of the shows that have caught our attention. Tiny House Nation features "renovation experts and hosts, John Weisbarth and Zack Griffin as they travel across America to show off ingenious small spaces and the inventive people who live in them. They also help families design, construct and prepare to downsize into their own mini-dream homes no larger than 300 square feet!
DESTINATION FLAVOR:JAPAN
Paul has a love-hate relationship when it comes to the show, Destination Flavor: Japan, he loves it because the show features Japanese Cuisine, he hates it because he gets jealous of chef Adam Liaw who travels "from the frozen ponds of Hokaido in the north to the southern multicultural island of Okinawa...to "savor the cuisines from local legends and master chefs while watching Adam Liaw immerse himself in a vibrant food culture that embraces innovation and cherishes tradition."
TRAVELS WITH THE BONDI VET
Come on...tell me how can you not have a crush on Australian hottie Chris Brown? He's this tall blonde blue eyed, super sculpted Australian veterinarian, who we see taking care of animals, sometimes even nursing them back to health.
Well in Travels with the Bondi Vet he "leaves his practice in Sydney to begin his exploration of the world's most beautiful and bizarre places, cultures and animals!
There are definitely a lot of good things to look forward to with the rebranding of BIO to FYI and in this fast paced crazy world we all need a little bit of inspiration every once in a while and FYI is definitely a good place to start!
