NBC AND LITTON ENTERTAINMENT ANNOUNCE NEW FALL LINEUP WITH FOUR RETURNING FAVORITES AND ONE NEW DEBUT
“A New Leaf,” Hosted by Daisy Fuentes, Will Join NBC’s Award-Winning “The More You Know” Programming Block Beginning Oct. 5
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. — Aug. 28, 2019 — NBC and Litton Entertainment, the preeminent producer of award-winning family programming, today announced the lineup for their three-hour Saturday morning “The More You Know” programming block. In an exciting addition, “A New Leaf” will join the fourth season of “The More You Know,” alongside returning favorites “Earth Odyssey with Dylan Dreyer,” “Consumer 101,” “Vets Saving Pets” and “The Champion Within.”
“The More You Know” will continue to bring viewers stories about environmental stewardship, social innovators, health, civic engagement, diversity – and now family history.
Each week host Daisy Fuentes and “A New Leaf” will follow people on the cusp of key life inflection points, using family history, genealogy, and sometimes DNA analysis to guide them on their journey of self-discovery, and help them learn from the past while looking to the future. In partnership with Ancestry®, Fuentes will join families as they learn the importance of appreciating and understanding their family history and ancestors in order to make important life decisions.
Fuentes served as the first Latina VJ on MTV and recently hosted Telemundo’s hit-series “La Voz Kids,” which revolutionized the ways Spanish-speaking television is produced.
“Vets Saving Pets” provides an inside look at a bustling emergency veterinary trauma center. Audiences witness firsthand the dedication and determination of these veterinary specialists as they work tirelessly to save their animal patients. Each week viewers see new emergency cases, including a wide array of specialties within veterinary medicine, such as critical care, oncology, cardiology, neurology, anesthesiology, dermatology, dentistry and surgery.
“The Champion Within” features the powerful and inspiring stories that exemplify what it really means to be a champion. Hosted by Lauren Thompson of Golf Channel’s “Morning Drive,” “The Champion Within” introduces viewers to people who have overcome obstacles while experiencing transcendent moments from the world of sports. “The Champion Within” proves that a champion is not only defined by their speed, strength and agility, but by their grit, resiliency and heart.
