DIY Network is an American cable network owned by Discovery, Inc. The network is a spin-off of HGTV; while it originally focused on instructional programming related to "do it yourself" activities, DIY Network has since focused on personality-based, documentary-style reality series related to home repair and renovation.


As of February 2015, DIY Network is available to approximately 60,942,000 pay television households (52.4% of households with television) in the United States.[1]

Programming


The shows carried over the network cover the gamut of various activities which are capable of being performed by amateurs at home. The current programming focuses on:




  • Home construction (Building off the Grid)


  • Home repair (Bath Crashers, My First Renovation, Blog Cabin, Kitchen Crashers, Sweat Equity, Renovation Realities, Ed the Plumber)


  • Home improvement (The Vanilla Ice Project, BATHtastic, Mega Dens, Man Caves, Cool Tools)


  • Gardening and landscaping (Yard Crashers)

  • Destruction and contracting (Million Dollar Contractor, Sledgehammer, Barnwood Builders, Texas Flip and Move, Restored)


Programming that focused on other activities and hobbies have ceased. These include:




  • Auctioneering: Auctioneer Myers Jackson sells homes on Texas Flip and Move[2]


  • Auto repairs, ranging from simple repairs such as adding stereo speakers, all the way to engine rebuilding.


  • Jewelry making


  • Motorcycle and motorbike repairs and upgrades


  • Plumbing repairs including installation of major appliances such as garbage disposals, dishwashers and refrigerators having in-door ice and water


  • Quilting and quilt repairs


  • Recreational vehicle usage and maintenance

  • Scrapbooking


  • Video production including taping and editing one's home videos.

  • Knitting

  • Woodworking

  • Boating


The network also carries reruns of the series This Old House, originally a PBS series about families who had their homes remodeled or rehabilitated, and as recently as late-2009, some older HGTV archive programming, including the Carol Duvall Show.



History


DIY was the second network to be launched by Scripps, following the success of HGTV. In fact, for the first two years the programming consisted of mixed and mashed clips of old HGTV programs while new content was developed. The network offered a large amount of broadband content (originally project worksheets and instruction pages for printout by users, later video clips and more) to create demand for and help cable operators launch their nascent broadband services. The broadband portal was first DIYnet.com, and has since been changed to DIYnetwork.com


DIY says they target a more male audience than HGTV (which is more female), although both channels have offerings which appeal to both.


The channel announced it would launch in high definition on May 1, 2010 on "two prominent distributors", and it would add 200 new original programs by year end.[3] One of the "prominent distributors" turned out to be Dish Network, which launched DIY HD on May 12, 2010.[4] DirecTV added DIY HD on September 19, 2012. The network is under consideration by Discovery to be converted to the new Magnolia Network (a joint effort from Discovery and Fixer Upper stars Chip & Joanna Gaines) to launch in late 2019.



AT&T U-verse carriage dispute


AT&T U-verse dropped Food Network, Cooking Channel, HGTV, DIY Network and Great American Country on November 5, 2010 due to a carriage dispute.[5] But on November 7, 2010, the carriage dispute was resolved.[6][7]

Volkswagen Group MQB platform

Image
The Volkswagen Group MQB platform is the company's strategy for shared modular design construction of its transverse, front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout (optional front-engine, four-wheel-drive layout) automobiles. Volkswagen spent roughly $60bn [1] developing this new platform and the cars employing it. The platform underpins a wide range of cars from the supermini class to the mid size SUV class. MQB allows Volkswagen to assemble any of its cars based on this platform across all of its MQB ready factories. This allows the Volkswagen group flexibility to shift production as needed between its different factories. Beginning in 2012, Volkswagen Group marketed the strategy under the code name MQB , which stands for Modularer Querbaukasten , translating from German to "Modular Transversal Toolkit" or "Modular Transverse Matrix". [2] [3] MQB is one strategy within VW's overall MB (Modularer Baukasten or modular matrix) program which also includes th...
