Bravo Media unveiled a diverse slate at its Upfront Tuesday morning at the Andaz Hotel, as well as bragging rights as the number one ranked net for educated, affluent viewers for P18-49 in primetime, and the fifth most social cable net in 2013. "Our strategy of creating a total multi-platform lifestyle experience for our Affluencers is paying off with not just viewership growth across the board, but also loyalty, which is at an all-time high for Bravo," said Frances Berwick, President Bravo & Oxygen Media. "This diversified new lineup, which includes two scripted series and our first ‘real-time’ docu-series, will satisfy fans and also bring in new affluent viewers." After a rousing performance of "Happy" and "Higher Ground," courtesy of the cast of Oxygen’s new show, Fix My Choir, Berwick and company got down to business.
New scripted series include comedy Odd Mom Out and Girlfriend’s Guide to Divorce, starring Lisa Edelstein (House).

The net boasted year-over-year growth among all key demos, up seven percent among F18-34 and five percent among F18-49. "The combination of Oxygen’s current momentum and upcoming rebrand will fully cement the network’s position with young female viewers," said Frances Berwick. "This new slate of originals will deliver on the freshness, authenticity, high emotional stakes and optimism that this demographic is looking for."
UP unveiled an original programming slate that includes 30 new premiere movies and four series. "UP is an expert on its growing audience of family-friendly viewers who are seeking a destination for uplifting, entertaining programming," said Lisa Fischer EVP, ad sales.

"It’s an exciting time for us in primetime," said Jim Ackerman, SVP, primetime alternative. "The Profit is building a loyal fan base with viewers who want to be entertained but also want to get insights as to why businesses fail and how they can flourish. And our two new series, Restaurant Kickstart and Filthy Rich Guide are great additions to our line-up and reinforce what we have said all along, that money and business are great backdrops for storytelling."
