History

HGTV 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 HGTV that was majority-owned by Corus Entertainment; this channel rebranded as Home Network on December 30, 2024, with a programming slate that phases out first-run HGTV programs in favour of other acquisitions. [2] [3]

Programming

In June 2025, Rogers announced its first slate of original programming for the channel, including The County with Sarah Keenleyside, Small Town Escapes with Colin & Justin , a Canadian spin-off of Home Town Takeover, and three series from Scott Brothers Entertainment (The Emily Michelle Project, Top of the Block, and Property Brothers: Commitment Issues).
