 Now more than ever, food has emerged as a powerful platform for the advertiser message. So it's no surprise that Food Network, the industry leader, is enjoying popularity unlike any time in its history. Poised to surpass 85 million homes by year's end, the network boasts record-setting ratings in primetime and an "In the Kitchen" lineup that viewers find habit-forming.
Programming
Food Network's extensive programming line-up offers something for everyone's "taste." "The Secret Life of…" uncovers the "bios" behind our favorite foods, from the origins of the ice cream sandwich to Elizabeth I's candy addiction. The "Kitchen Cops" provide a new take on home makeovers, surprising homeowners with a kitchen actually designed to improve cooking skills. "Party Starters" helps viewers become the belle of their own ball. Hot trends and cool gadgets are the stuff of "What's Hot, What's Cool." And fantasies are realized in "Recipe for Success," a profile of those who set fear aside to pursue culinary dreams.
Food Network delivers an outstanding slate of specials. Most popular is "Cook with Your Kids" responding to the recent studies linking adolescent obesity with decreased "family time." Hosted by Emeril Lagasse, this week-long, network-wide initiative encouraged family bonding and can even improve a child's developmental skills.
Primetime ratings are matched, sometimes surpassed, by our "In the Kitchen" lineup. The vivacious Rachael Ray returns in "30 Minute Meals," which boasts critical acclaim and loyal viewers. Close on her heels, "Barefoot Contessa" Ina Garten recently posted the highest-rated episode of any daytime show on Food Network. And "Semi-Homemade's" Sandra Lee demonstrates why critics are calling her "the next Martha Stewart."
Food Network continues to develop cutting edge programs with topics relevant to viewers. Our "Fast & Fit" lineup showcases "Calorie Commando" Juan-Carlos Cruz, who replaces fatty favorites with healthy alternatives that taste like the real deal, and "Low Carb and Lovin' It" with George Stella. Mr. Stella, a low-carb expert who shed 200 pounds, now shares recipes with you the viewer.
Now you can enjoy one of America's most popular channels for as low as $29.99 with Dish Network and I-Satellite's America's Top 60. This High quality Programming is accompanied by several channels of equal stature, namely History Channel, Discovery Channel, The Learning Channel, and Home and Garden Network.
