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

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]}

Programming

In June 2025, Rogers announced its first slate of original programming for the channel, including Bake Master Battle with Dina Pugliese, a Canadian version of British series Come Dine with Me , David Rocco's Eating Dirty, and Andy’s East Coast Kitchen Crawl. ^[4]
