“Big changes are coming to Oxygen,” Berwick said before pointing out that Oxygen is the youngest women’s network by eight years.
It was also among the Top 10 most social cable primetime reality networks in the second quarter of this year.
“This is a dynamic time for Oxygen as we rebrand and reinforce the network as the destination for young female viewers,” said Berwick. “With nine new series, we are committed to increasing original programming with vibrant and bold shows that are in line with our new programming filter and target this underserved audience.”
