The launch of the CTV streaming channel marks a milestone in Family Handyman's evolution from its launch as a magazine more than 70 years ago to a multi-platform media brand that attracts 9.2M unique monthly web visitors, 3.2M social followers, and a loyal 7.7M print audience. Family Handyman has also seen a shift in its audience over the years – since 2020, women make up over 50% of the online audience and in 2022, the brand appointed its first ever female content director, Amy Novak.
