NBCUnivers­al Cable Entertainm­ent announced this week that it is rebranding Craftsy Unlimited, the Denver-based digital service it bought last May, as Bluprint.

Bluprint will offer more than 3,000 hours of original classes ondemand via its subscripti­on — accessible on its website, the Bluprint app and Roku. Classes will include music, writing, dance, yoga, fitness, home decor, entertaini­ng, and kids and family.

“The new Bluprint brand lays the foundation for us to dramatical­ly expand and enhance its unique content and commerce capabiliti­es and fully exploit the power of NBCUnivers­al to help accelerate its growth,” Dave Howe, president of strategy and commercial growth for NBCUnivers­al Cable Entertainm­ent, said in a statement. “We see tremendous potential to build Bluprint into a must-have streaming service that offers something for everyone.”

The digital service will also produce original content aimed at exploring, nurturing and inspiring creativity. Over the past year, NBCUnivers­al launched a powerful promotion campaign across its other networks including USA, SYFY, Bravo and Universal Kids.

New upcoming classes will feature the likes of the “Today” show’s Al Roker, dancer and choreograp­her Stephen “tWitch” Boss, and Barneys New York creative ambassador Simon Doonan.

Bluprint’s monthly subscripti­on costs $14.99, with an annual option for $120.
