The Cooking Channel 113???

[dlt]

Just noticed it today, is it new? Look out Foodtv.

It is Food Network, or rather, its new sister channel. The owner killed Fine Living and launched the Cooking Channel in its place.

If I am not wrong. Food network owned fln in the first place. So they are only competing themselves.

Yes ---- FLN went dark on memorial day and was replaced by The Cooking Channel.

And -- I like this bit from the FLN network : Fine Living Network signed off for the last time on May 31, 2010 at 5 AM EST. The last thing shown was a sequence depicting the Grim Reaper walking to a house's front door, holding a piece of paper with the FLN logo on it, and ringing the doorbell before a cut to black.[3] (From the wiki : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fine_Living).


I watched an hour of so of the Cooking Channel. They are trying to make it more of an instructional channel (and less game-show ... like Food Network has become). A lot of the Food Network chefs are going to have shows on the Cooking Channel. I would not really say that Cooking and Food are going to compete too much. It seems as if Scripps is moving the actual "how-to" portion over to Cooking ... and keeping all of the other stuff on Food.

I was not very impressed with one of the shows I watched. There were talking about making soda at home ... and it was pretty unbearable to watch. Any amateur kid with a home video camera could have done a better job.

I am going to miss some of the shows on FLN. Luckily, "Three Sheets" is on Travel now. But, I did like watching the old reruns of Iron Chef (the old Japanese ones).
