Specialty net Fine Living is debuting nine series starting Monday, March 12, providing viewers with consumer-info-friendly tips on money, dining, travel, design and well-being for the time-starved family.

According to Sherida German, marketing manager at Fine Living, shows What’s Your Time Worth? and American Shopper are geared toward the philosophy of ‘inspiring and empowering people to find ways to spend their time and money,’ and act as a kind of buyer’s guide, providing useful information on buying decisions.

The Fine Living demo (based on its viewers in the U.S., where it is operated by Scripps Networks) is in the 25-54 age range, with an even split of men and women who are family-oriented and living a hectic lifestyle, and have an average income level of US$75,000-plus.
