"People do not watch our TV network because they have pets. They like Animal Planet
because they like TV," says Marjorie Kaplan, general manager. "We want to retain our base advertisers and become a broad entertainment destination."
The network is appealing to 25-to-54s with shows like a competition for dog groomers and the new "Living With the Wolfman," a series about a wolf expert who lives with wolves in England.
