Looks like homeowners and Realtors aren't the only folks having to do things differently since the market started self-correcting. Networks like Knoxville-based DIY and home magazines like Better Homes & Gardens are changing their content to better fit the times:
"Fix-and-flip shows have given way to programs that focus on living more with less, and home magazines increasingly spotlight segments for budget-minded consumers.
'We put much more emphasis now on projects for a mix of budgets,'says Gayle Butler, editor in chief of Better Homes and Gardens magazine."
But that doesn't mean that business is bad. Knoxville-based HGTV's senior VP of content and development says that his network is doing just fine despite the upheavel in various local real estate markets:
"'Does it mean people stop getting married, having children or getting job transfers across the country? No," he says. "We offer property shows that help people, so our ratings have never been stronger.'"
