Going where few TV or cable networks have sought to go before, NBC Universal's Bravo unit says it will devote its Tuesday and Wednesday nights to a lineup of unscripted programs; Wednesdays
will be given over entirely to a "creative competition" format to help set the cabler apart. According to Mediaweek: "This summer Bravo will introduce threenew unscripted series
to its Tuesday night lineup, including ‘Million Dollar Listing,’ a look at a high-end California real estate agency (June 12), ‘Workout,’ which chronicles the various intrigues
that take place inside celebrity trainer Jackie Warner’s Hollywood gym (July 19), and the previously announced ‘Tabloid Wars,’ which takes viewers inside the news room at the New
York Daily News (August). Bravo will beef up its Wednesday night slate with three new series that pit contestants against one another, including ‘Top Decorator,’ ‘Heads Up’
and ‘The Inn Crowd.’ Bravo has also picked up ‘War of the Wives,’ a competition/reality hybrid that the network characterizes as 'the ultimate in spousal
nightmares.'" In yet another bit of programming daring-do, Bravo will kick off the new lineup with an episode of the stillborn NBC show 'The Jake Effect' on four different platforms: TV,
broadband, DVD, and through Apple’s iTunes’s Music Store.
