“We are pleased to announce that Cooking Channel and DIY Network will be joining the Optimum TV lineup of highly informative and enjoyable lifestyle programming,” said Bradley Feldman, Cablevision’s senior vice president of product management. “We believe that Cooking Channel and DIY Network will be very popular among our customers, who will also be able to access this programming anywhere in the home using the Optimum App and on the go with TV to Go.”

“Introducing our popular lifestyle media brands DIY Network and Cooking Channel to the homes of nearly three million Optimum customers will satisfy the growing demand for top-notch television content in the important New York metro area,” said Henry Ahn, executive vice president of content distribution and marketing for Scripps Networks Interactive. “Viewers who love our flagship brands HGTV and Food Network will enjoy even more quality home and food programming that will inspire and inform their lives.”

The launch of Cooking Channel on Optimum comes just in time for a summer filled with exciting new food and entertaining programming, including at least fifteen new shows along with returning fan-favorite series and specials. The network will offer an intimate look into the life of actress Haylie Duff with June's premiere of her series Real Girl’s Kitchen with Haylie Duff, where Haylie shares recipes, stories and adventures in Los Angeles and New York City. Also premiering in June, Rev Run’s Sunday Suppers will showcase the true joy of family and great food, as Rev and his wife, Justine show that the perfect family meal isn’t just about the food, it’s also about who is sitting at the table to share it. Additionally, returning to prime time this May on Cooking Channel, a brand-new season of Road Trip with G. Garvin, with G. seeking out the hottest spots in the country serving up Southern style-food. In June, Roger Mooking continues to explore the fundamentals of food and fire in Man Fire Food and, in August, Mo Rocca is back in the kitchen with grandparents, learning to cook treasured family recipes in a brand-new season of My Grandmother’s Ravioli.

DIY Network, the go-to source for home improvement television, will be premiering seven new series in the coming months. The network’s latest addition to its “celebrity home rehab” franchise, The Shatner Project, premieres in October and will follow the home renovation of actor William Shatner. In July, Daryl’s Restoration Over-Hall will premiere, starring singer/songwriter Daryl Hall from Hall & Oates as he revives the historic charm of an 18th century Connecticut home, while popular licensed contractor Jason Cameron will help homeowners smash their way to gorgeous new spaces by wrecking and remodeling their worst rooms in the new series, Sledgehammer, premiering in August. Additional new DIY Network series will include First Time Flippers, featuring overzealous property virgins who put their do-it-yourself real estate skills to the ultimate test; Stone Age, which follows father and son duo, Steve and Nick Rhule, as they build amazing custom outdoor designs, including waterfalls, patios and fire pits, one rock at a time; Family Under Construction: Hawaii, which follows a family of five as they live through a whole home renovation in Hawaii; and Disaster Decks, which will feature designer/carpenter Paul LaFrance as he rescues homeowners from their outdoor renovation woes.

Cooking Channel and DIY Network will be available in both Standard and High Definition to Optimum TV residential customers with the Optimum Preferred package and above; customers must have a digital set-top box or CableCARD to receive the channels. Cooking Channel will be available on channel 166 and DIY Network will be located on channel 167.
