FYI

FYI is an American digital cable and satellite television network that is owned by A&E Networks, a joint venture between the Disney–ABC Television Group subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company and the Hearst Corporation. The network features lifestyle programming, with a mix of reality, culinary, home renovation and makeover series. The network originally launched in 1999 as The Biography Channel—an off-shoot of the A&E television series Biography. As such, it originally featured factual programs, such as reruns of its namesake. As A&E shifted its focus towards reality and drama series, Biography Channel became the home for several series that had been displaced by the network, but shifted towards reality-oriented series itself in 2007 with a re-brand as simply Bio. As of February 2015, the channel was available to approximately 70,932,000 pay television households in the United States.
