The Nest (TV network)

The Nest was a proposed American digital broadcast television network targeted at female viewers aged 25-54. It was planned as a joint venture between NBCUniversal and Hearst Television. The network's concept revolved around programming related to home, family, and lifestyle, with a focus on providing content relevant to modern women.

The venture was announced in 2014, with plans for a launch in the fourth quarter of that year. However, The Nest never launched. In January 2015, NBCUniversal and Hearst Television announced that they were abandoning plans for the network, citing challenges in securing sufficient carriage agreements with television providers. The saturated market for digital broadcast networks and difficulties in negotiating favorable terms for distribution were reportedly key factors in the decision to discontinue the project. The assets and programming intended for The Nest were repurposed for other NBCUniversal properties.
