Tri-State Local Station to Air Food Network, HGTV Shows

NEW YORK: As its carriage dispute with Tri-State cable provider Cablevision continues, Scripps Networks Interactive has reached a deal for local station WPIX-TV Channel 11 to air encore broadcasts of popular shows from HGTV and Food Network this Sunday.

On Sunday, January 24, PIX 11 will broadcast HGTV’s House Hunters and House Hunters International from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m., and Food Network’s Iron Chef America from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m.

“We’re hearing from our loyal fans that they are looking for alternatives for seeing Food Network and HGTV," said Brooke Johnson, the president of Food Network. "Working with PIX 11 to air some of our programming is one small way to let the viewers know that we miss them too.”
