TheGrio network has teamed with Black female-targeted entertainment brand Café Mocha, to launch a new weekly series profiling the best in travel hot spots.

The series, Café Mocha TV, showcases such travel destinations as Dubai, Paris, Barbados and South Africa as it takes viewers on a journey in search of finding and sharing the Black culture experience in each destination, according to the Allen Media Group-owned theGrio. Episodes feature influencers, celebrities, food and fashion experts, as well as a closing musical performance, according to the network.

“From radio, podcasts and events, we provide entertainment and drive conversations from an unapologetic Black woman’s perspective,” said Café Mocha TV creator Sheila Eldridge in a statement. “There is absolutely nothing like Café Mocha TV that’s expanding the conversation globally, we’re honored to launch our latest television property on theGrio, the home of Black culture amplified.” ■

Food Network said it has signed a content deal with YouTube star Hannah Hart. Plans for the partnership include a six episode series along with digital and social content converging both Hart's and the network's respective digital footprints.

Kathleen Finch, Chief of Programming and Content & Brand Officer of Scripps Networks Interactive, said in a release: "We share the same mission Hannah has built her own brand success on, creating, engaging and entertaining content for our viewers. The deep connection viewers of all ages, especially millennials, have to food and food-adjacent content makes Food Network the perfect place for Hannah to continue to explore her own food adventure and we are excited to see all that comes from this organic convergence of the digital and television landscapes as we continue to deliver (together) for what audiences are craving." 

Hart said, "While I'm not a food expert... I do consider myself a food enthusiast! I love to eat! And I love to travel. But most of all I love to share my experiences. My life has blessed me with so many wonderful opportunities that my goal is to find a way to make them accessible to all! Food Network is the perfect partner for this endeavor and I couldn't be more proud to call them mine."

Food Network said is ordering the untitled Hannah Hart project to series with Hart hosting the culinary travelogue. Each of the six episodes will feature Hart in a new city across the country, with only a limited budget, which is determined by that city's average dining out price.  Each destination will be challenging to find delicious food on a budget. The series will be accompanied by a digital experience across FoodNetwork.com as well as various social channels. 

Hart is also a best-selling author. Her first book "My Drunk Kitchen: A Guide to Eating, Drinking, and Going with Your Gut," spent six weeks on the New York Times Best Sellers list. Her highly anticipated sophomore book, "Buffering: Unshared Tales Of A Life Fully Loaded," will be released October 2016. Hart co-produced and stars in Dirty 30, which releases in theaters on Sept. 23. 

Scripps Networks Interactive reported higher fourth-quarter earnings, despite nearly flat advertising revenues.

Net income rose 21% to $132 million, or 96 cents a share, including a 6 cent charge for restructuring, from $109 million, or 73 cents a share, a year ago. The year-ago results included a 17 cents per share writedown of goodwill.

Revenues rose 2.3% to $669 million. Advertising revenue edged up 0.7% to $454 million.

“The strength of our lifestyle media brands and the connections they make with consumers and advertisers enabled the company to maintain its record of growth and creating shareholder value for the quarter and the full year,” CEO Ken Lowe said in a statement.  “The company is in a great position to capitalize on the many opportunities in an ever changing media environment.”

For 2015, the company said it expected revenue to rise about 4%, cost of services to rise 8% to 10% and selling, general and administrative expenses to be down 2% to flat.

In the fourth quarter, Scripps Networks’ Lifestyle media segment profits rose 1% to $298 million, pressured by restructuring expenses and higher program amortization costs.

Lifestyle media revenues rose 1.7% to $642 million. Affiliate fees grew 6.1% to $191 million, but ad revenues were up only 0.3% to $444 million, reflecting “softness in the advertising market and audience delivery at some of our networks,” the company said.

Operating revenues were down 2.9% at Travel Channel, off 1.1% at Food Network and dropped 2.6% at Great American Country. Operating revenues were up 4.4% at HGTV, 7% at DIY Network, and 9.8% at Cooking Channel.
