History
Carlton Food Network launched as a weekday daytime cable-only channel in September 1996 on cable, sharing space with SelecTV, later Carlton Select. It launched on the ITV Digital/ONdigital service when that platform went on air in November 1998. It showcased the best of Carlton and other ITV companies cookery programmes, and later expanded to a full time service.
On 1 May 2001, Carlton Food Network was renamed as Taste CFN. However, it was only using this brand for a few months because the channel closed in November 2001, due to poor viewing figures and cost restrictions. On ITV Digital, it was anticipated that the slot was to be filled by a new channel on the now struggling platform, but the space became a preview channel for ITV Digital suppliers and potential customers.
The channel was similar to and would nowadays be Good Food, UKTV's successor to Carlton Food Network.
