How do I get Bravo and, if so, on what channel?
If you live in the U.S. and subscribe to a TV provider, odds are pretty good that you can get Bravo. To find out for sure, and to determine what channel number has been assigned to Bravo in your area, check the channel listings provided by your local TV provider, or call your provider for the channel number.
back to top ^How can I get air dates and times for Bravo shows?
You'll find complete show listings for today and every day for the next week in BravoTV.com's show schedule.
back to top ^Why don't my TV listings match Bravo's schedule?
Bravo offers two feeds, Eastern and Pacific — which enables programs to start at the same time for viewers on both coasts. However, most satellite services and some cable systems offer the Eastern feed regardless of the time zone where subscribers live. In that case, viewers need to subtract hours (3 for Pacific, 2 for Mountain) from the time listed.
back to top ^Which Bravo shows are broadcast in High Definition?
As of 2009, the following shows can be seen in HD:
- Top Chef (Season 5)
- Millionaire Matchmaker (Season 2)
- Shear Genius (Season 2)
- Tim Gunn's Guide to Style (Season 2)
- Top Design (Season 2)
Other shows that will be in HD include:
- Flipping Out (Season 3)
- Make Me a Supermodel (Season 2)
- Million Dollar Listing (Season 3)
- The Real Housewives of New York City (Season 2)
- Every new series
Can I buy episodes of Inside the Actors Studio or other Bravo programs?
Entire seasons of a few Bravo shows are now on DVD, including Project Runway (Seasons 1 - 4), The Real Housewives of Orange County (Season 1), and Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List (Season 1). Some episodes of Inside the Actor's Studio are also on DVD. All of these can be purchased at Bravo Shop.
Single episodes of Bravo shows — including Top Chef, The Real Housewives of Orange County, and many others — can be downloaded at Amazon.com, Zune.com, and iTunes.
back to top ^Is there insider info about current shows in Bravo's e-mail newsletter?
Yup. Bravo sends updates every week with details about currently airing shows, including links to exclusive video clips, behind-the-scenes blogs written by cast members, and other articles on BravoTV.com. To get the e-mail newsletter, sign up here.
back to top ^How do I unsubscribe from Bravo e-mails?
Follow the instructions for un-subscribing at the bottom of each message. Or, follow the instructions on the unsubscribe page.
back to top ^Can I get Bravo updates on my Blackberry, cell phone, or other mobile device?
Just go to our mobile page, where you can sign up for mobile alerts about your favorite shows, download wallpapers and ringtones, and get mobile games. Or, use your mobile device to go directly to Bravo's mobile site at m.bravotv.com. There, you'll get behind-the-scenes access to your favorite shows, including videos, photo diaries, interviews, polls, and more. (When you sign up for alert services, you will receive 3 - 7 messages per week, and standard message rates or other charges may apply. Supported carriers are Verizon Wireless, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Boost, Alltel, Virgin Mobile, and US Cellular.)
back to top ^How do I unsubscribe to Bravo's mobile text updates?
To opt out of all Bravo mobile text campaigns, text STOP to 27286.
back to top ^How can I be on a Bravo show?
When casting new shows, Bravo often reaches out to viewers. To apply, check out the latest casting notices.
back to top ^How do I submit story or show ideas to Bravo?
Because of a number of factors, including volume of mail, employee safety, and legal issues, Bravo cannot accept unsolicited creative ideas or materials.
back to top ^How do I apply for a job at Bravo?
To see job listings for open positions throughout NBC Universal, including Bravo, go to the careers site.
back to top ^How do I advertise with Bravo?
Get contact information and rate information on the advertising information page.
back to top ^How do I get press information about Bravo shows?
Press releases, photography, and public relations contacts for each Bravo show are available to journalists on Bravo's press site.
back to top ^Where can I get general information about Bravo?
To find out about the shows on the network, and some history, see our About Bravo page.
back to top ^Which Bravo shows are closed-captioned?
With limited exceptions, closed-captioning for the hard-of-hearing is provided for all Bravo programming.
back to top ^If I write to Bravo, will my letter or e-mail get to the Bravo staff?
All e-mails and letters are read by someone at Bravo. Learning what you like and don't like, when we've done well and when we've fallen short of your expectations, helps Bravo determine what kind of programs to produce, how best to promote and schedule them, how to keep you informed of changes, and how to build, update, and improve our site. Unfortunately, because we hear from so many viewers, it's impossible for us to send a personal response to every e-mail. One possible source of a direct response: If you post a comment on Andy's Blog (the blog written by Bravo exec Andy Cohen), there's a good chance that he will answer.
