A&E moving beyond houses

A&E; is getting a life outside of This House.

The cable network is adding two new series to its weekend lifestyle programming block, which includes Flip This House, Move This House, and Sell This House.

"We've had success in the home genre, but I think this audience cares about more than that," said Nancy Dubuc, senior vice president nonfiction and alternative programming at A&E.;

To that end, A&E; is adding Big Spender, in which personal-money expert Larry Winget confronts out-of-control spenders and introduces them to responsible shopping habits.

Also coming to A&E; is Designing Blind, a showcase for blind interior designer Eric Brun-Sanglard. Thirteen episodes have been ordered of both series.
