Amid so many channel choices, Bravo is one American Pay Television Network that has sustained its roots in the TV entertainment scene since 1980. A channel that now primarily airs reality shows roots back to dedicating itself to performing arts and film. Bravo’s vision has evolved to quite an extent. The alternations are reflected in the current programming lineup the channel has.

Despite such a major makeover, in January 2016 alone, the network served 90 million U.S. households. That is an estimate of 77% of residential households that are linked to TV and Bravo.

How did the network earn this stature?

A Brief History in Time For Bravo

The history of Bravo is quite a detailed one. It initially entered the TV network domain as a commercial-free premium channel. That was back in 1980. Bravo aired content not limited to a certain genre yet the main selling point for Bravo was that over time, it dedicated itself to fine arts and film.

Channels ABC ARTS, CBS Cable, and NBC’s The Entertainment Channel all broadcasted content similar to Bravo. However, Bravo did things differently. It is the decision to resort to film more than performing arts that made Brave take away the cake effortlessly.

Fast forward to 1981, Bravo serves 48,000 subscribers across the country yet the content shown on the channel stayed inclusive of performing arts and classical films. The same old, same old. That stayed the same for a few years and Bravo remained a commercial-free TV network. It was until 1998 that Bravo accepted traditional commercial advertising.

If you could compare the content produced and shared across the Bravo network starting from its advent to the late 90s, not a lot had changed.

But the change that was brought forward by Bravo was a swift one. It happened in the early 2000s when in 2002 NBC bought Bravo and the content broadcasted on the network faced a major makeover.

This makeover and acquisition changed a lot for Bravo and the streak of Reality TV Shows started to emerge from 2003. The one show that made Bravo sustain this remodeling was the reality show Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. The show’s success and potential to cash in 3.5 million viewers was only the beginning of the network.

More reality TV shows that gained nationwide attention started to emerge which included Project Runway and Top Chef. Within no time, that is all Bravo was known about. That is what the selling point of Bravo became. It was not a shot in the dark either. If that were true, Bravo’s reality shows won’t be catering to audiences of varied demographics. Shows like the quirky Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Project Runway drove more women toward the platform. On the other hand, content relevant to the LGBTQ community made Bravo rank as one of the most recognizable TV channel platforms for gay viewers.

The essence of cultural diversity, demographics, and region-specific content shows how Bravo withstood through the competition and knew how to cash in one USP, reality TV shows.
