Magnolia Network Fixer Upper Chip and Joanna Gaines

Magnolia Network, the home-and-lifestyle channel that is a joint media venture between Discovery and Fixer Upper stars Chip and Joanna Gaines (pictured above), has been streaming programming on discovery+ since last July. Now, the wait for that content’s arrival on traditional TV is finally over: Effective Wednesday, Jan. 5, at 9pm ET, the existing DIY Network has officially rebranded as Magnolia Network, kicking its programming off with the linear premiere of the Gaineses’ newest series, Fixer Upper: Welcome Home.

“It is our ongoing desire to create a space, whether in a streaming environment or on linear television, where people who watch a show on our network leave feeling like it was time well spent,” the Gaineses say.

Viewers who currently receive DIY Network as part of their programming lineup will automatically have access to Magnolia Network starting Jan. 5. The network’s lineup covers home, design, do-it-yourself, food, cooking, gardening and real-life journeys.

Here’s a sample of what Magnolia Network shows to look for:

Family Dinner — Sundays at 8pm beginning Jan. 9

Host Andrew Zimmern visits families across America to explore how the cultural, regional and historical facets of who we are inform what and how we eat. Currently at two seasons.

Meet Magnolia’s Newest Stars: Candis And Andy Meredith Of “Home Work”

Prior to launching Magnolia Network, Chip and Joanna Gaines helped popularize the concept of the home-renovation power couple. Since Magnolia’s streaming debut on discovery+ last July, viewers have been enchanted by the latest such duo, Candis and Andy Meredith. The Merediths’ series Home Work makes its Magnolia Network linear debut Jan. 8 (airing Saturdays) and follows them as they transform a 20,000-square-foot historic school into their home while juggling client projects, rental properties and life with their blended family of nine (they have seven children).

Candis has loved houses since she was a 3-year-old watching her grandpa build her playhouse. She started renovating on her own at 16 and bought her first historic home to renovate at 21. When the couple got married, Candis had seven historic remodels happening at once and asked Andy to “retire” from his longtime high-level tech sales job and come work for her, where he discovered that this was his passion.

We chatted with Candis and Andy ahead of Home Work’s linear premiere and, like on their show, they worked as a team for joint answers to questions about their series and life.

Are you excited for your show to reach a linear audience?
We talk about it every day, that a linear audience will see what we’ve made. … We’ve always wanted to share our love for what we do — old houses, antiques, DIY projects, our love for our family — but to share it on such a big scale is such an honor.
