New York [For Immediate Release -- September 30, 2015 ] HGTV finished 3Q15 as the #1 cable network in primetime (M-Su 8P-12A) among W25-54 and upscale W25-54 - and the strong performance also helped propel the network to its 10th consecutive season as the #1 cable network for upscale W25-54. Driven by hit programs such as Fixer Upper, Brother vs. Brother, Ellen's Design Challenge, Beach Flip, and Flip or Flop, the 2014-2015 broadcast season now ranks as the highest-rated and most-watched season in network history for P25-54 primetime (M-Su 8P-12A) ratings.

"HGTV's programming slate and scheduling strategy is solid," said Allison Page, general manager, HGTV, DIY Network and GAC.
