Tegna to Launch New Lifestyle/Reality Channel

Posted on February 24, 2021 by Jon Ellis

TV station owner Tegna, which has several stations in the Upper Midwest, has announced plans to launch a third subchannel network this spring.

“Twist” will carry lifestyle and reality programming targeting women. The channel is named for the reveals, or “twists,” at the end of most of the shows it will air.

Initial programming includes Clean House, Top Chef Masters, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, Dance Moms, Tabatha Takes Over, Tiny House Nation, and Flipping Out.

The network will launch sometime this spring.

Tegna said Twist will be carried in all of its markets, which include Minneapolis (KARE), Des Moines (WOI-DT/KCWI), and the Quad Cities (WQAD). Exact channel placement has not been announced. Twist will also be carried on some stations owned by HC2 Broadcasting that have yet to be listed.

Tegna also runs True Crime Network and Quest.
