Cooking Channel is an American television channel. It replaced Fine Living Network on May 31st, 2010. The channel is owned by Scripps Networks Interactive. It is a spin-off of Food Network which is also owned by SNI. The channel focuses more on instructional programs than "reality style" and competitions that Food Network is now geared towards. The original plan was to make the change in the fall of 2010.[1] It was later announced that the switch would be made on May 31, 2010 to happen with Memorial Day in the United States.[2] Cooking Channel launched a high-definition channel on June 30, 2010. The channel also announced that it would offer an on demand version.[1]
