Even before the pandemic, UPtv's investment in original programming and quality acquisitions gave it a robust pipeline, resulting in it being one of the few networks that aired new content throughout months of lockdowns.

During this Storytelling Revolution episode, we meet with Wendy McCoy, Senior Vice President Marketing at UP Entertainment. McCoy takes us on a journey, highlighting some of the most iconic shows the network has produced, including ten seasons so far of the UPtv juggernaut Bringing Up Bates, which follows the Bates family with 19 kids (and now with 17 grandkids!), and continues to build an audience as it heads into its 11th season, a nearly unheard-of accomplishment.
