U.S. nets add Tricon series to their rosters

Toronto-based Tricon Films & Television has sold three of its home renovation shows to U.S. networks HGTV and DIY Network. All three seasons of Marriage Under Construction (39x30) have gone to HGTV in the U.S., while it currently airs on HGTV's Canadian station. Produced by Tricon, the series is a docusoap following the struggles of a newlywed couple renovating their home. DIY Network, meanwhile, has picked up Family Renovation (13x30) and House of Bryan (13x30), both which air on HGTV Canada. SI Entertainment's House of Bryan stars Disaster DIY host Bryan Baeumler as he builds his own family home, while Ocean Entertainment's Family Renovation shows a family renovating their home while still living in it.
