You are a well-established interior designer and contractor, but the show's premise is that Hilary Farr does all the design work.
I did two episodes of "Love It or List It," probably back in, I think, 2018.ĬHAKRABARTI: Okay, so that's the HGTV show where, what, interior designer Hilary Farr and there's a real estate agent named David Visentin, I think, they compete to see if they can find a couple or a family a new house, or if the family wants to stay in their current house that Hilary redesigns, right?ĬHAKRABARTI: Okay, so this is my first question to you. Can you tell me which show you worked for? But we actually have you, which I think is better because you're an independent businesswoman, but you've also done work for HGTV. Alicia, welcome to On Point.ĬHAKRABARTI: Now, I want to note that we did reach out multiple times to HGTV and no one from the network or the channel would actually join us. She's an interior designer and general contractor at her company Hylton Daniel Design + Construction in Durham, North Carolina. Today, we're wondering, what kind of impact is HGTV having beyond providing 24/7 feel good TV. When anything gets that popular, you've got to look at the light and the dark, right? Now, I say this as an HGTV fan, but also as a hard-hitting public radio journalist. The feelgood narratives sell us the idea that our dream home is just within reach. The network is home to shows like "Bargain Block," "My Lottery Dream Home," "Unsellable Houses," "Good Bones," and there are so many more. Average weekly audience during prime time is around 900,000 people. HGTV is currently the ninth most popular channel on TV, according to the U.S. And I also really love House Hunters International so that I can travel along with the people that are on the show.ĬHAKRABARTI: This is On Point. That's why I love watching House Hunters. So I really am jealous of places around the country where people can live in huge houses for about half of what we pay here. LAURA: I live in California, and as you probably know, it's very expensive to live here.
Comforting, dreamy background to whatever real life issue I'd rather avoid. I check in, turn on HGTV, and let it run like the clock. HGTV is her guilty pleasure when she's staying in hotel rooms, and Denise, let me tell you, me too! Yeah, I find myself wanting to get sucked into "Oh, I could do this with our house, or that with our house, and it would be so much better, and look how easy it is."ĬHAKRABARTI: That's Denise Rappmund, On Point listener in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It's taking us to fantasy land, which is the purpose of any entertainment. But nonetheless, I think they do a really good job of taking our emotions somewhere else.
FLIP MASTERS HGTV TV
This is the world of HGTV.ĭENISE RAPPMUND: Just like a lot of reality TV where it's not actually reality, it's very much crafted and edited and scripted. All of these scenarios include dreamy properties, dramatic remodels. Or maybe it's a couple with some extra cash looking for a second home in a tropical locale like Belize or Brazil. It's testing the limits of their relationship. Or there's no home office or downstairs bathroom. Or maybe it's a couple that knows for sure they want to renovate, they want to grow their family, and there's no room for a nursery.
FLIP MASTERS HGTV UPGRADE
They're wrestling with whether to upgrade it, knock down a few walls, finally finish that basement, or pull up stakes and find a new home. A couple is unhappy with their current two bedroom home.
