Cannes, France– Scripps Networks Interactive and TVN have joined up for their first programming agreement since Scripps Networks acquired the leading Polish broadcaster earlier this year.

In Polowanie na kuchniÄ™, Dorota SzelÄ…gowska and her team will visit home improvement stores and seek out unsuspecting shoppers and offer their professional design services in exchange for the keys to the shoppers’ homes.
