Another TV food destination is coming to Channel 74 on December 1.
On the menu already for food lovers are Foxtel’s Lifestyle Food and SBS Food. Fetch TV subscribers also get access to Food Network.
Seven’s deal with Discovery means it will have access to content from the Discovery-owned Scripps Network, which previously supplied content to the SBS Food channel.
