The Martha Stewart Living television show debuted as a weekly half-hour syndicated program in September 1993. Intended to complement the magazine, the program featured Stewart as host of each episode where she presented segments on things such as cooking, gardening, craft making and decorating. It expanded to weekdays in 1997, became a full hour-long program in 1999 (with a 30-minute weekend edition) and went on hiatus in autumn of 2004 following Stewart's stock trading case and conviction.

The show was distributed by Group W Productions from 1993–1995, Eyemark Entertainment from 1995–2000 following the CBS-Westinghouse merger, then King World Productions from 2000–2004 following CBS' merger with King World. The new Martha Stewart Show replaced Martha Stewart Living after Stewart's release from prison in 2005 and ran until it was cancelled in 2012.[6]

Accolades

Both the magazine and the television show have won numerous awards.
