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]
The current Canadian iteration of HGTV primarily airs series acquired from its U.S. counterpart, such as Celebrity IOU, hosted by Canadian personalities Drew and Jonathan Scott.[4] It also airs previously-produced Canadian series such as the 2010s series What's for Sale? (originally aired on Cottage Life) and Yukon for Sale.
