As part of an ongoing battle with TWC and ESPN, my selection of cable channels has been reduced to 12 and facing a further reduction soon. I have been forced to find alternatives to the Food network.
Besides Streaming Netflix, we recently discovered
Acorn TV. We have been watching vintage [1990's] cop show where Richard Griffiths plays a near-retirement aged DI who just happens to own a restaurant called
Pie in the Sky. Maggie Steed co-stars.
For more traditional TV cooking shows,
Create TV plays the PBS cooking, travel and home improvement library 24\7. Watch Julia, Sara, Ming, Bridget, Chris, Jacques, Lydia, Mary Ann, Martha, Joanne, Pati, Nick, John, and Christina cook the day away. This network is way too controversial for CATV and must be found with an OTA antenna and a digital tuner.
