SAY HELLO TO FYI™ ASIA


Just recently, October 6, BIO™ Channel rebrand to FYI™, a contemporary lifestyle network reflecting how people live their lives today, across Cambodia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Macau, Mongolia, Myanmar, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, the Pacific Islands, Singapore, Thailand and Taiwan.

FYI’s mission is to inspire personal creativity that emphasizes improvised living, while reflecting our authentic slate of programming. And with its rich mix of inspirational content, the new channel’s Asian premiere is sure to bring its viewers a season of quality entertainment. ~Michele Schofield, Senior VP, Programming & Marketing at A+E Networks Asia.

By rifling through their clothes and asking some blunt questions we get to the root of their fashion malaise, before whisking them away for a shopping trip around New York.

    1. Correct. Rebranding is the most important thing to do. Create and sustain a company's brand inorder to conduct another corporate strategy in channeling their TV shows.
