Cooking Channel is an American basic cable channel owned by Food Network, a joint venture and general partnership between Warner Bros. Discovery Networks (69%) and Nexstar Media Group (31%). The channel is a spin-off of Food Network, broadcasting programming related to food and cooking. Cooking Channel is available via traditional Cable Television as well as Discovery+ since January 2021.
As of November 2023[update], Cooking Channel is available to approximately 34,000,000 pay television households in the United States-down from its 2016 peak of 66,000,000 households. Along with American Heroes Channel, Boomerang, Destination America, Discovery Family, Discovery Life, and Science Channel, Cooking Channel is among the less prevalent networks of Warner Bros. Discovery.[1]
In recent years, Cooking Channel has lost carriage with the growth of streaming alternatives including its parent company's Max, and has generally been depreciated by Warner Bros. Discovery in current retransmission consent negotiations with cable and streaming providers.
