the name of the show is love it or list it too on hgtv.>> live tweeting today, and the show airs tomorrow night i think at 9:00? >> and you're tweeting, everybody from hgtv, correct. >> all much my friends are getting together and live tweeting. >> big twitter party, everybody. >> yes. >> and the party last night. happy new year. >> thank you. >>> and coming up the bates clan. the large family with the new reality show giving the duggars a run for their money. >> i want to wish my wife adrian and my baby boy, shawn, a happy holiday season. >> a shout out to my wife and kids back home my family in kentucky. happy holidays. >> and i want to say i love you and i miss you to jason,elly and addison, in illinois. >> we're the family from germany, and wish a happy holidays to our friends and family in virginia. >>> new year's day is a great day to spend with family. and the bigger, the better. that's the case with the bates family. fans of the duggars know them. they have 19 kids a growing family and now a new reality show. abc's paula faris has

to churn for marissa mayer who is supposedly making a bid for the source behind the food network, hgtv, and travel channel. edmond, let me start with you. do you give any credence to the talk that they're going to be buying a cable channel? >> it's a pleasure to be here, sue. i want to make clear we haven't reported at all. >> that's what i thought. that's why i wanted to clarify that. >> we don't have any reporting to support that idea at all. i think, frankly, this kind of speculation is a little bit silly. you know, scripps networks has been on the block for at least the past year. any company out there is going to quietly kick the tires on this thing. i wouldn't be surprised if there were some kind of discussion, but i don't think it's at all serious largely because it doesn't make sense for yahoo!. there isn't real synergies there or cost savings in that kind of a tieup. yahoo! is producing more video content, but they can do something to get it on cable somehow. that's the easiest way to do it. scripps network is not a fast-growing business. and yahoo!'s trading at a much higher

. >> keep caulk and watch hgtv every night. >> house call is the cure today. >> i'm too stressed. >> as you guys have heard, a report about how cold it is across the country and coupled with the particularly nasty flu season this year. now we're hearing that the cdc is urging doctors to do a response. and whether it's the right decision for you. we'll talk about that after the break. ght, so this tylenol arthritis lasts 8 hours but aleve can last 12 hours. and aleve is proven to work better on pain than tylenol arthritis. so why am i still thinking about this? how are ya? good. aleve. proven better on pain. >>> well, this year's flu season shaping up to be one of the worst on record. a map compiled by the cdc showing the flu has now become widespread in all but four u.s. states. the agency is now urging doctors to prescribe more anti-viral drugs in hopes of containing the virus. dr. siegel, is this a good idea? >> well, the first point i would make is, don't prescribe it unless you know what you're doing. don't just suddenly prescribe it. the point the cdc is trying to make is if we

at that time they were looking for someone new to host property virgins on hgtv and he thought basedn listening to me that i was the perfect candidate. >> the question is how much are they willing to sacrifice to have all of this in their backyard. >> who knew. i could have never predicted anything like that would happen. i used to watch the show all the time myself. but it was the perfect marriage. to peel back the layers and let my listeners and viewers see this is who i am. not one dimensional but i'm all about real estate as well. that's my passion. >> egypt has always been driven by her desire to see more people from our communities taking initiative and ownership. >> when you sit dormant and just collect a paycheck, you're letting someone else be the master of your destiny. pick up a black enterprise magazine and read about the things you should be doing. wealth preservation is important. you can make $200,000 a year but do you know how to make that money work for you and make compounded interest so you can retire. >> egypt also has her own foundation and makes it a point to st

. >> you've got it and don't forget to enter the promo code hgtv sphinx for $4 off the ticket. >> i like that. that's it for us, we'll be back of course at 5:00 and always on at wusa9.com. have a great day and a great weekend. see you at the home show. [ captions by: >> jack: phyllis poisoned you? >> kelly: that's right. >> phyllis: oh, nice try, honey. p.s. you're insane. >> kelly: don't deny it, phyllis. you know it's true. >> jack: okay, first of all, you have no right just walking into my home -- >> phyllis: our home. >> jack: our home without being invited. second of all, you have -- where do you get off throwing accusations like that at phyllis? >> kelly: it's what happened, jack. >> jack: i don't believe you. >> kelly: jack. >> jack: you need to leave now. >> phyllis: you heard him, kelly. >> kelly: i was just released from memorial hospital. the doctor in the e.r. who treated me said i was lucky to be alive. i almost died because of her. >> phyllis: oh, you are such a liar!

talks about the foot network which owns hgtv. the food network's audience women 35 or older fit the yahoo! demographic. >>> the first day on the job and addressing san jose homeless is the issue for sam liccardo. he helped to serve dinner as well. he wants to launch a pilot program to use city funds to convert under used hotel rooms to house homeless people. he wants to ride along for the police officer as well. >> i'll continue to reach out and try to get negotiations moving here in the new year. in the meantime. it is a good idea to listen. >> mayor liccardo will make a statement next week when he is sworn in. >>> you may have noticed gas prices in the bay area going back up. california's cap and trade law went into effect yesterday. a market-based regulation narrowly passed by the house of representatives in 2009 to reduce greenhouse gasses. gasoline will be forced to supply lower carbon fuels or buy pollution before the greenhouse gas is created when the fuel is burned. in california people will pay for the extra tax at the p

they have hgtv, the travel networks. the travel -- some content. >> they have an identity crisis. a lot of zigging and zagging. it will be the year where marissa mayer does a great job or finds herself in the unemployment line. it will be that simple. from an investor perspective, that's not the risk we'll take. too many question marks. no clear strategy. the windfall from alibaba, great for them. not a strategy though. >> shareholders will want to -- i think she's looking for a play. give it back. or make a big play. cnn or scribz -- with cnn it's about bundling -- dierdre: or even aol. >> distribution channel. a better chance at being a netflix company if they can go in and out of the cable market. to oliver's point, it's not clear. and i wouldn't -- dierdre: she has her job because there were activist investors to begin with. they installed her after she kicked out scott. >> you live by the sword, you buy it. she's playing the content game. nobody really cared about it on the content provider. she has to find good content. whether that's cnn, which i don't think it's there. or

two potential targets cnn and scripps networks which owns hgtv, the food network and the travel channelhere with me rob enderle of enderle group, jonathan hoenig of capitalist pig hedge fund and scott martin of united advisors. jonathan and scott are both fox news contributors but i want to start with you rob. yahoo! getting back to saying all the rumors are purely speculative and they don't comment on this type of thing but where do you stand on this happening? >> she has been trying to build up some kind after new media company and building up a series of properties around that kind of like she was moving in the direction of some type of a video channel picking up an existing video channel would be seeming to be consistent with that strategy but you whether a new age company can pick up an old video broadcasting company? we certainly saw what happened to amazon and time warner merged. it was an absolute disaster, largely because the put cures didn't mesh. i have a feeling this is the same kind of problem we would have except in spades because yahoo! doesn't have the kind of money amaz

and if you want hgtv you got to get this, and the next thing you know you're paying $120 a month. you get 1,000 channels but you really only one 10 or 15 of those. >> will i see a day where i can literally cut the cord on cable and get an a la carte of what i actually watch? >> of what you actually watch. what they're doing with sling it's going to be on your tv, your tablet. >> so it really is tv everywhere. >> it brings it to you where you are. cable companies are trying to get in to the streaming space. you have an app, you can download, log in, get some cables. at home on you're five you can getyour wi-fi what are you thinking? >> we don't have a lot of time left. we have to start to think of a better way to appeal to consumer demand as opposed to we're the only game in town. if you want tv you're getting it from us. >> you're thinking this could be a real game changer if you're a cable operator. >> yes. >> that's because can we foresee a day when we can get a digital and we can get an antenna. >> right. >> and get everything that is available that is free over the air. >> the

[ laughter ] or there's this woman, a 6-foot-tall blond who does a design show, candace olsen on hgtv"i love your work on tv." oh, thank you very much. i love the room you did with the taupes and mauves. i'm not her. [ laughter ] that's not me. >> seth: so you -- now, i think probably the first time i became familiar with your work was "best in show", which christopher guest directs. and that's a great film. [ cheers and applause ] >> right? >> seth: you originally met him shooting a frosted flakes commercial? >> frosted flakes commercial. >> seth: so how did that work? he directed the commercial? >> yeah, he directs commercials all the time. at least he did back then. i know he's still directs them now. i mean, he was directing a commercial a day. i went to one of my many commercial auditions at the time. i got a call back for this one and it said director christopher guest. and i was a big fan, so it was a big deal. and i got the role. i saw him about six months later, and i was in "best in show" by the end of that day. >> seth: that's so crazy. that's amazing. >> yeah, it just show

you've got time warner offerings, disney and scripps, food network, hgtv travel channel. what i wonder is the price. $20 doesn't seem to be that expensive, but you have to access through broadband that you're paying $50 and add on netflix or hbo go. you are getting up to $70, $80, $90 a month and start to wonder where the price no longer is a benefit to that consumer versus the cable bundle? >> you could argue there is a generation if you give them cartoon network, espn and cnn, that's good enough. you agree? >> i don't know. i find it hard to believe. other than espn i dvr everything. i don't have time to watch the stuff other than espn. >> what this is is a long-awaited offering they've been putting this together for some time. remember when they did that disney deal i was wondering, what does this mean? now we see it. espn being available. you'll get a lot of commentary about it. from my perspective, dish is important in terms of the stock is what's going to happen when these auctions end which should be any day now. how much spectrum did charlie ergen buy? what does t
