History

edit

Food Network is one of five specialty networks that were relaunched by Rogers on January 1, 2025, after the June 2024 announcement that it had acquired the rights to Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) factual and lifestyle brands.[1] The channel succeeds a previous iteration of Food Network that was majority-owned by Corus Entertainment; this channel rebranded as Flavour Network on December 30, 2024, with a programming slate that phases out first-run Food Network programs in favour of other acquisitions.[2][3]
