New Great American Country Series Is Making A Move - Leaving the City Behind

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. [FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - March 13, 2014] Miami to Montana or LA to Louisville - More and more we're seeing families leaving urban areas and going to a simpler, easier country lifestyle. What's driving this moving trend and what are they finding in their new homes that makes the change so attractive?

Go along for the ride as families across the nation go in search of their new homes in Great American Country's new series, Moving Country, premiering Wednesday, April 16 at 10P/9C. Join these families on Wednesday and Friday nights as they search for their new homes and focus on a new lifestyle in a laid-back setting.

"Moving Country is a little peek into the changes these families make when they decide to leave the city behind in pursuit of their American dream of living in the country," said Steven Lerner, senior vice president, programming and development for Great American Country, HGTV and DIY Network. "As we follow families on the move, we have a chance to celebrate America and explore its smaller cities and communities, with a glimpse of the traits and lifestyle unique to each."

Whether it's returning to your roots and moving your family back to where you lived before the big city or heading to "America's Coolest Small Town," where their dollar and the country landscapes stretch much further - join these families as they change their surroundings, deciding where to settle down and build a new life. Viewers will share that experience, from selecting their new home to settling their family into their new country lifestyle and community.
