Bravo (television network)

Bravo is a cable television network owned by NBC Universal. It is currently seen in more than 70 million homes and was the first service dedicated to film, drama, and the performing arts when it launched in December 1980. Bravo's programming schedule includes feature films (primarily from the Universal catalogue,) theater, dance, music, and documentaries. Bravo also airs reruns of series from parent network NBC, including The Restaurant and The West Wing, and produces original reality content, including Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, Boy Meets Boy, Project Greenlight, and Showbiz Moms and Dads.

Programming

Bravo utilizes block programming for both new shows and successful existing ones. Bravo has also had great success with programming franchises. These include their "100 Greatest..." TV and Film retrospectives, based the concept of AFI's 100 Years 100 Movies; Project Greenlight and Project Runway; Showbiz Moms and Dads and Showdog Moms and Dads, and a handful of successful Gay-themed dating and reality shows, a niche which had yet to be filled by the reality-heavy networks.
