The three-hour block, which debuts Sept. 28, will include six new half-hour series, all in high-definition, that will feature such personalities as celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, sports personality Laila Ali and omg!Insider co-host Kevin Frazier.
Each show is designed to offer pro-social and uplifting messages aimed at viewers ages 13-16. Topics will range from pet adoption and animal care to healthy eating makeovers to athletes making a difference in their communities to personal interest stories about people who have accomplished something great.
The new shows:
-- Lucky Dog, in which animal trainer Brandon McMillan rescues untrained and unadoptable dogs and works to turn them into the perfect pets to be adopted by families.
-- Dr. Chris Pet Vet, which chronicles the work of Dr. Chris Brown, said to be one of the world's busiest vets, and lives of the animals he treats.
--Recipe Rehab, in which families submit their favorite high-calorie recipes and two chefs compete to give the recipes a low-calorie twist.
-- Jamie Oliver's 15-Minute Meals, in which the chef makes quick and easy meals in real time, offering hints, tricks and lots of nutritional info along the way.
