Corus Entertainment is preparing to launch two new media properties called Flavour Network and Home Network at the end of the year. Both channels will specialize in lifestyle content, with the first focusing on food and the second on home life. This content will consists of original programming and international acquisitions. Websites at HomeNetwork.ca and FlavourNetwork.ca will launch later this year, along with social media pages. The channels will launch with a two-month free preview.
“As Canada’s largest independent broadcaster and leader in lifestyle content, we will continue to operate the country’s biggest and most widely distributed lifestyle channels with the same expertise that built the foundation of the previous foreign brands in our market,” said Troy Reeb, co-CEO of Corus Entertainment. “Both Flavour Network and Home Network are thoughtfully curated new brands, built specifically for Canadian audiences. With robust, original programming and expanded licensing from the world’s biggest lifestyle studios, these networks will deliver big audiences and unique opportunities for advertisers.”
