About the Oxygen Makeover

While Oxygen has been around for quite some time, its popularity is a more recent phenomenon. It all started in 2017 when the channel underwent a crime makeover.

Shows like Hair Battle Spectacular and Bad Girls Club that Oxygen previously aired were dropped and in their place, new series with titles like A Lie to Die For and Buried in the Backyard was adopted. Their audience at the time, comprising mainly of women aged between 25 and 54, welcomed the change and the rebranding initiative proved a success. In fact, the channel recorded the biggest growth in viewership in 2018 for any TV channel.

The switch in programming alone though is not responsible for the network’s mammoth success. It’s worth noting that many of the new series are women-led making the content more relatable to its viewers.
