(EntertainWire.Org) – Los Angeles, CA, (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Diverse Media Group's reality series "Hometeam" has been renewed for a second full season on The Home Channel, South Africa's leading home and lifestyle television network. The renewal is part of the strategic global relaunch of Diverse Media Group's popular "Hometeam" franchise (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsIoTvr02-w).

"Hometeam" airs on The Home Channel's schedule alongside such leading worldwide television series as All Year Round with Katie Brown , Martha Stewart Living , Holmes on Homes and Living with Ed. According to Elana Closenberg, head of programming for The Home Channel, "Hometeam" was renewed because our audience really enjoyed the series and based on its first season's performance, we wanted to double our previous order."

"Hometeam" aired for three seasons on U.S. television, appearing on ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox stations and WGN Superstation collectively representing a strong 94 percent of the country. Episodes were produced all across the U.S. with solid sponsorship from such national advertisers as Frito-Lay and Levitz. The series offers a novel reality show concept: each week, a deserving individual, couple or family is surprised with their very own first home. Not only does "Hometeam" provide a percentage of the home's down payment, all closing costs and first year's mortgage payments, it brings together a team of design experts and the winner's family and friends to renovate the property and furnish it. The personal narratives of the winners and the renovation and design advice from the show's professionals blend for a rich hour of programming. The series is hosted by Troy McClain, a top contender on the debut season of Donald Trump's The Apprentice.

"Hometeam" was recently presented at the worldwide television industry's biggest trade show, MIPCOM, in Cannes, France. Its upcoming international sales will be a cornerstone of Diverse Media Group's active relaunch strategy of the property. Additionally, Diverse Media Group is exploring a U.S. network partnership to produce new episodes and extend the brand in digital media.

"When we acquired "Hometeam" as part of our initial expansion strategy in 2007, it was a logical decision because the series had demonstrated success on television and its brand offered enormous multimedia and partnership potential with the appropriate commitment," said Chris Nassif, Chairman, Diverse Media Group. "With the challenges of home ownership today and the public's interest in reasonable, viable solutions, the aEUR~Hometeam' concept is more relevant than ever."
