Food Network is a Canadian exempt discretionary specialty channel owned by Rogers Sports & Media. Based on the U.S. cable network of the same name, it broadcasts programming related to food, cooking, cuisine, and the food industry.
History
[edit]Food Network is one of five specialty networks that were relaunched by the Toronto-based 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]
Programming
[edit]In June 2025, Rogers announced its first slate of original programming for the channel, including Bake Master Battle (hosted by Breakfast Television anchor Dina Pugliese), a second Canadian version of British series Come Dine with Me, David Rocco's Eating Dirty, and Andy’s East Coast Kitchen Crawl.[4]
