Home Network is a Canadian English-language discretionary cable and satellite specialty channel owned by Corus Entertainment. Home Network broadcasts programs relating to real estate, home and garden design, and renovations.
This channel was launched as HGTV Canada on October 17, 1997 under the joint ownership of Atlantis Communications and E. W. Scripps Company. Atlantis merged with Alliance Communications to form Alliance Atlantis Communications in 1998 and the stake of HGTV was then acquired. After several ownership changes throughout the years while maintaining the same format, the channel has been owned by Corus since 2016.
As HGTV, the network's programming drew partially from the U.S. version of the channel, but it also carried original Canadian-produced series, some of which have in turn also been picked up for broadcast by the U.S. network or others internationally, as well as a smaller selection of home renovation programming acquired from other producers in the United States or the United Kingdom.
In June 2024, Rogers Sports & Media announced that it had acquired Canadian rights to Warner Bros. Discovery factual and lifestyle television brands beginning in 2025, including HGTV. Rogers announced its intent to relaunch HGTV as a new discretionary specialty channel on January 1, 2025. Corus announced that it would continue to operate its existing HGTV channel under a new brand, replacing HGTV U.S. programming with other acquisitions to accompany its existing Canadian productions. The new brand was later announced as Home Network, which launched on December 30, 2024.
