With such genre often perceived as too [[educational]] and boring when delivered as a traditional (passive) television channel, HCL, with "creative programming" and "interactive formats", further purports to have the 'feel and look' of a general [[infotainment]] channel, with programs designed to appeal to both the young and old who are health conscious. Along with interviews & talk shows such as Q&As with international doctors, and specialists in healthcare, beautycare, babycare, advisers, sex education etc., there are internet & TV quiz shows, and documentaries supported by 'live' segments, as shows to enhance the topic/subject on travel, cooking, homes, spas, exercise, home shopping, petcare etc., all related to [[quality of life]] and personal wellbeing.<ref name="INFO"/> |
