Why is Scripps Networks located in Knoxville, Tennessee?
HGTV founder Ken Lowe identified Knoxville as the perfect location to plant and
grow the emerging network in 1994. He chose the location because of an existing
production facility and a strong pool of television production talent on which
to draw. He also saw Knoxville as a welcoming and affordable community that
would enable the network's employees to live the lifestyle they were
representing on the air. The centralized location and temperate climate also
are advantages for doing field production out of Knoxville. Over the next
decade, HGTV was joined by Food Network, DIY Network, FINE LIVING TV and Great
American Country (GAC) to comprise the Scripps Networks, headquartered in
Knoxville with offices around the county.
What is the relationship between Scripps Networks, The E.W. Scripps Company and
Scripps Howard News Service?
Scripps Networks is a division of The E. W. Scripps Company, a diverse media
concern with interests in national lifestyle cable networks, newspaper
publishing, broadcast television stations, electronic commerce and interactive
media. The parent company also operates Scripps Howard News Service and United
Media, which is the worldwide licensing and syndication home of Peanuts,
Dilbert and 150 other features and characters.
