Why Them? Rising like the cream in one of Giada’s tasty desserts, Lansing and Lowe have driven SNI to both ratings and revenue records, organizing networks including HGTV, Food Network, Travel Channel and DIY Network into Home, Food, Travel & Entertainment categories. And they know how to capitalize on the brands, with the company’s first $1 billion Upfront in 2012. Lansing this year repositioned Great American Country from a music to a lifestyle network complete with the new “Living Country” tag line and hit series “Farm Kings” and “Kimberly’s Simply Southern.” Lowe continues to expand the Scripps stable, adding new acquisitions Travel Channel International and Asian Food Channel to recent integrations Travel Channel and Cooking Channel. Look for this duo to continue pushing the interactive envelope both on and outside of the small screen.
