Since launching HGTV in 1994, Scripps Networks has become the leader in lifestyle media, developing some of the most relevant content available on television, the Internet and satellite radio, in books and magazines, and on today’s emerging media platforms.
Scripps Networks is a leading developer of lifestyle content for television and the Internet, where on-air programming complements an array of broadband video, social media areas and e-commerce components on companion Web sites that attract more than 17 million unique visitors each month. Beyond the screen, Scripps Networks brands have extended into magazines, retail products, video games and live experiences. Scripps Networks is comprised of lifestyle television brands HGTV, Food Network, DIY Network, Fine Living Network (FLN) and country music network Great American Country (GAC). Scripps will extend its category dominance in 2010 by acquiring a controlling interest in the Travel Channel and rebranding FLN as the Cooking Channel.
Identifying international expansion as a key growth strategy, Scripps Networks will launch Food Network in Europe, Africa and the Middle East through a joint venture with Chello Zone; and Food Network Asia, distributed through MEASAT Satellite Systems and Ascent Media. Scripps Networks’ brands collectively are available in more than 170 countries and territories on all seven continents. They also are distributed to more than 1,000 outlets on U.S. military bases and U.S. embassies around the world via the American Forces Radio and Television Service.
In addition, Scripps Networks has launched HGTV and Food Network in high-definition and is aggressively developing its emerging media platforms for broadband and video on demand. Scripps Networks also acquired popular recipe Web site Recipezaar.com and Incando Corp. to deepen its user-generated content capabilities.
Headquartered in Knoxville, Tenn., with offices in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta, Nashville and San Francisco, Scripps Networks is owned by Scripps Networks Interactive Inc. (NYSE:SNI).
