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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“All history attests that man has subjected woman to his will, used her as a means to promote his selfish gratification, to minister to his sensual pleasures, to be instrumental in promoting his comfort; but never has he desired to elevate her to that rank she was created to fill. He has done all he could to debase and enslave her mind; and now he looks triumphantly on the ruin he has wrought, and say, the being he has thus deeply injured is his inferior.”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
“The reverence for the Scriptures is an element of civilization, for thus has the history of the world been preserved, and is preserved.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“What you don’t understand is that it is possible to be an atheist, it is possible not to know if God exists or why He should, and yet to believe that man does not live in a state of nature but in history, and that history as we know it now began with Christ, it was founded by Him on the Gospels.”
—Boris Pasternak (1890–1960)
