HGTV is a Canadian exempt discretionary specialty channel owned by Rogers Sports & Media. Based on the U.S. cable network of the same name, it broadcasts programming related to real estate, home and garden design, and renovation.

History

HGTV is one of five specialty networks that were relaunched by Rogers on January 1, 2025, after the June 2024 announcement that it had acquired the rights to Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) factual and lifestyle brands.[1] The channel succeeds a previous iteration of HGTV that was majority-owned by Corus Entertainment; this channel rebranded as Home Network on December 30, 2024, with a programming slate that phases out first-run HGTV programs in favour of other acquisitions.[2][3]

(originally aired on Cottage Life) and Yukon for Sale.
