''The Better Show'' was a syndicated lifestyle and celebrity focused daytime talk show. It aired weekdays on 160 stations across the United States including nearly all CW stations nationwide.〔http://www.better.tv/〕 The program was produced and distributed by Meredith Corporation, a publishing company founded in 1902.〔http://www.meredith.com/meredith_corporate/company_history.html〕 At the time of its cancellation the program was taped at a state of the art studio in midtown Manhattan. ''The Better Show'' gots its name from Meredith's flagship publication, ''Better Homes and Gardens''. Much of the show's content was supposed to be tied not only to ''Better Homes and Gardens'' as well as Meredith's other magazines including ''More'', ''Fitness'', ''Ladies' Home Journal'', ''Parents'', and ''Family Circle''.〔http://www.meredith.com/meredith_corporate/about_meredith.html〕 Each episode featured a mix of subject matter experts and celebrity guests. There were both in-studio interviews and pre-taped feature stories.〔http://www.better.tv/about/〕 This was not ''Better Homes and Gardens == History and affiliates == Production of the program began in several test markets in 2007 and placed into syndication later that year.
