The announcement was made today by Alan Hodges, Managing Director, Asia Pacific, A+E Networks.
BIO was also rebranded to FYI in the US on July 8th.
For your inspiration, for your imagination or for your innovation, FYI will be a personalized experience for each viewer. 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, 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.
FYI’s primetime premiere line-up in Asia includes:
