Guess Which Huge Food Network Stars Will Have New Shows on the Spinoff Cooking Channel NT Times

Scripps Networks will launch its Food Network spin-off, called the Cooking Channel, on May 31, The New York Times reports.

Among the shows on Cooking Channel—which will take the channel space of the Fine Living Network --will be new series from Food Network mainstays Bobby Flay and Rachael Ray.

The lineup of the new channel, the paper says, is an entertainment-oriented departure from the company’s originally announced plans to focus more on information and instructional programming.
