Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Scripps Networks Interactive 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 were also seen as advantages for
doing field production out of Knoxville.
Over time, HGTV would be joined by Food Network (1997), DIY Network (1999), Great
American Country (2004) and most recently, Cooking Channel and Travel Channel in
2010. The six brands comprise to form Scripps Networks Interactive, headquartered
here in Knoxville with offices all over the country.
