Ellen DeGeneres is launching a furniture design competition series on HGTV. Six-episode Ellen’s Design Challenge, from the talk show host’s A Very Good Production and A.

"There has been a lot of dancing in our halls since we shared that we will be collaborating with Ellen," said HGTV and DIY president Kathleen Finch.
A new study from Beta Research says Discovery Channel is the brand most often described as "one of my favorite channels" (56 percent of the network’s viewers) and points to DIY, Sprout and lNSP as the nets most likely to inspire purchases of advertised products (36 percent). The survey was conducted in January 2014 among 4461 cable subscribers. History (54 percent), HGTV (52 percent) and Nat Geo (50 percent) also made the favorite channels cut, while HGTV (35 percent), Cooking Channel (34 percent) and Destination America (34 percent) ranked on the advertising list.
Despite the loss of about 250,000 TV customers industry-wide last year, Comcast added subscribers for a second straight quarter, reporting revenue of $17.4 billion to beat analyst’s predictions. NBCUniversal‘s revenues increased 28.8 percent, to $6.88 billion, thanks to the Winter Olympics and a 15.8 percent increase in ad sales. In an earnings call Tuesday, NBCU CEO Steve Burke said, "I think we’re going into the Upfront with the best position we’ve had in over a decade… We’re looking at this Upfront as a chance to have a correction in that monetization gap."
Discovery, which canceled May 11 event Everest Jump Live after Friday’s deadly avalanche, will use footage NBC News‘ Peacock Productions has collected at the site for a documentary focusing on the dangers of the area. Eileen O’Neill, group president of Discovery, Science and Velocity, told The Hollywood Reporter that as far as making another attempt at Joby Ogwyn’s wingsuit flight off the summit, the net will "see where we are in a year."
HBO Asia is battling piracy by bringing original content to its Asian feed sooner. Starting in July, new seasons of Boardwalk Empire, The Newsroom and new miniseries Olive Kitteridge will be available within 12 hours of their U.S. debuts. "Whilst this move is no silver bullet to combat piracy," said HBO Asia CEO Jonathan Spink, "it’s an ongoing effort on our part to protect intellectual property, industry, jobs and revenue."
Olympic figure skaters Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski, who made a splash when they bantered as part of the Winter Games broadcast team, then served as Access Hollywood fashion correspondents for the 2014 Oscars, are at it again. NBC has enlisted the duo to cover fashion for the Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby (imagine the hats!) on Friday, May 2 and Saturday, May 3.
The date for the Daytime Emmy Awards has been set for June 22 at the Beverly Hilton, with the Creative Arts trophies presented June 20 and the Bonaventure Hotel. The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences has been negotiating for a TV deal; HLN broadcast the show for the past two years.
