The first two test issues will feature HGTV talent throughout its pages, offering readers personal tips, tricks and expertise, as well as a behind-the-scenes look at their shows. Content will include real estate, decorating, home renovation, gardening, entertaining and food.
The debut test issue will hit newsstands nationwide in October, followed by a second test issue in January 2012. Hearst and HGTV will use the test period to gauge consumers' interest in the concept ahead of a possible full-scale launch in 2012.
