Elizabeth Hart’s many fans will be happy to know that her “Ready, Set, Renovate!” will be on every week next year on WKMG-Channel 6.
Her show will air at 8 a.m. Sundays, starting Jan. 5, and the early start will mean no preemptions for sports. The show had aired at noon Saturdays.
“We are in production with season four and have 20 new episodes coming out in the next six months,” Hart said. “Most of the episodes are shot in Central Florida, but we have several in South Florida as well as the Gulf Coast.”
The upcoming episodes focus on a houseboat rehab in DeLand, a 1950s refresh in Baldwin Park, a $7 million mansion makeover in South Florida and a renovation on a 1970s home in Longwood. The last one features Tim Freebern, a retired Florida High Patrol officer who wowed social media with his emotional farewell after 36 years.
Hart, who created the renovation series, worked as a meteorologist at the CBS affiliate for nine years. Her series recently collected its first Emmy nomination. “Ready, Set, Renovate!” was recognized for a special on how “the Sand Palace,” a vacation home in Mexico Beach, withstood Hurricane Michael. Hart talked to the home’s owners, the mayor and a daughter of one of Mexico Beach’s founders.
“Ready, Set, Renovate!” is seen on 10 stations, including two outside Florida.
The new Sunday lineup on WKMG will be news from 6-7:30 a.m. and “The Weekly on ClickOrlando.com” at 7:30.
