Joanna Gaines talks about delayed launched of Magnolia Network
Magnolia Network was originally supposed to launch in 2020 but due to the pandemic, plans were pushed back. Although most of the programming was launched on discovery+, the cable premiere just happened in 2022. However, Joanna said she was thankful for the delayed launch.
“I think, looking back, we couldn’t have planned it any better,” Joanna said during an interview with Good Morning America. “It’s January, it’s a new year. Just the message of hope and inspiration from these storytellers and the stories that they’re telling… The world is ready for that kind of beauty to be seen.”
Magnolia Network is now available on cable having recently taken over the DIY Network.
