Welcome to the latest edition of Ad Age Publisher’s Brief, our roundup of news from the world of content producers across digital and print. Got a tip? Send it our way. Joining us late? Here's the previous edition. Cover stars: Chip and Joanna Gaines, who rose to fame through their hit HGTV home-renovation show “Fixer Upper,” have been making headlines lately as they’ve been plotting their post-HGTV empire; see “Discovery’s DIY Network to turn in to Chip and Joanna Gaines Channel” (subhead: “The still unnamed network will debut in summer 2020”), per Ad Age’s Jeanine Poggi. (“Fixer Upper" reruns, currently showing on HGTV, will move to the new channel to round out its slate of original programming, TBD.) So... this might be good time for HGTV to remind everyone that they’ve still got a lot of continuing shows from homegrown stars who viewers love. Viewers and readers, that is—because today HGTV Magazine, the co-venture between the cable channel and Hearst Magazines, is releasing a sneak peak of its first four-way collectible cover starring network talent (talent not named Chip or Jo, that is). For the glossy’s fifth-annual paint-themed issue, four duos—Christina Anstead and Tarek el Moussa of “Flip or Flop,” Drew and Jonathan Scott of “Property Brothers,” Page Turner and DeRon Jenkins of “Flip or Flop Nashville” and Leanne and Steve Ford of “Restored by the Fords”—each get their own cover, three of which fold out from the main cover (the “Flip or Flop” version). HGTV... Continue reading at 'Advertising Age'
