INTERACTIVE OPPORTUNITIES AND ULTIMATE FANTASY MAKEOVERS ROUND OUT HGTV'S PROGRAMMING LINEUP FOR 2011

New York, N.Y. [For Immediate Release - April 13, 2011] As 2011 gains momentum, Americans are ready to reimagine their homes. HGTV is ready with a fun and entertaining programming lineup that includes 12 new titles and limited series that are geared toward wish-fulfillment makeovers and interactive opportunities for viewers. The network also will amp up its star power in 2011 - signing more than 12 new designers and experts, including Thom Filicia, Robert and Cortney Novogratz, television personality Tanika Ray and Real Housewives of New Jersey's Dina Manzo, who will star in Dina's Party (w.t.), a new party-planning series premiering in September.

For those who have fantasized about HGTV coming to their home to give them a makeover, that dream is about to come true in the new series HGTV'd. In each episode, HGTV will deploy some of its biggest stars, including David Bromstad, Vern Yip and Sabrina Soto, cross-country in a semi-trailer to award unsuspecting fans with awe-inspiring, once-in-a-lifetime surprise makeovers. The surprises will continue with Room Crashers, a series featuring designer Todd Davis, who will deliver instant room makeovers to fans he ambushes while they are shopping in furniture stores, retail stores or other home decor retailers.

In the new series Run My Makeover, armchair designers can create a space via HGTV.com.

The series will offer an interactive experience for viewers who watch the network and fantasize about being a designer. Host Alexi Panos and her design team will then recreate the space in a viewer's home. Run My Makeover will appeal to viewers who like the idea of someone else managing their room design from start to finish - regardless of the outcome.

Meanwhile, homeowners who want a license to create over-the-top backyards worthy of a theme park will get it with My Yard Goes Disney, as HGTV brings the magic of Disney Parks directly to their homes. New series House Hunters on Vacation and Selling LA also will join HGTV's programming lineup. Inspired by current viewer favorites House Hunters International and Selling New York, and joining the ever-popular HGTV Dream Home, HGTV Green Home and HGTV Urban Oasis specials, both series will shine a spotlight on fantasy homes and dream lifestyles.
