Frequently
Asked Questions
Why is Scripps Networks located in Knoxville, Tennessee?
HGTV founder Ken Lowe identified Knoxville as the perfect
location to plant and grow the emerging network in 1994.
He chose the location because of an existing production
facility and a strong pool of television production talent
on which to draw. He also saw Knoxville as a welcoming and
affordable community that would enable the network's employees
to live the lifestyle they were representing on the air.
The centralized location and temperate climate also are
advantages for doing field production out of Knoxville.
Over the next decade, HGTV was joined by Food Network, DIY
Network, FINE LIVING TV and Great American Country (GAC)
to comprise the Scripps Networks, headquartered in Knoxville
with offices around the county.
What is the relationship between Scripps Networks, The E.W.
Scripps Company and Scripps Howard News Service?
Scripps Networks is a division of The E. W. Scripps Company,
a diverse media concern with interests in national lifestyle
cable networks, newspaper publishing, broadcast television
stations, electronic commerce and interactive media. The
parent company also operates Scripps Howard News Service
and United Media, which is the worldwide licensing and syndication
home of Peanuts, Dilbert and 150 other features and characters.
