Programs
Knight Enterprises first program was "The Great Canadian Food Show", which celebrates ethnic and regional influences on Canada's culinary heritage, features cuisine and scenery from every province and territory in Canada. Each episode highlights great Canadian food, as well as the people - from growers to chefs - who bring food to the table. This series has aired on Food Network Canada, CBC, TVA and TVO and has been sold to more than 52 countries.
In January 2001, Knight Enterprises launched its second food show - "Cook Like a Chef," a series about how to cook. Several of Canada's top chefs show that gourmet food is not difficult to create. Chefs create dishes from the ground up while demonstrating cooking tips, techniques and skills. They cover everything from clarifying butter to how to make the perfect turkey.
"Licence to Grill" addresses summer backyard entertaining and barbecue fare such as hamburgers, steaks, kebabs, leg of lamb, sides of fish, and grilled desserts. Knight Enterprises also produced a one hour winter BBQ special spin off from the series.
"Junk Brothers" is about furniture resurrection and transformation. Brothers Jim and Steve Kelley secretly patrol the streets saving cast off furniture from the refuse bin. They whisk the items away to their workshop and transform the trash into incredible pieces of furniture that maintain at least a hint of their former battered selves. Once complete, our dynamic duo silently returns the restored pieces to their original homes and watch as the homeowners are dazzled and mystified at the surprise restoration before them: they’ve just had a visit from the Junk Brothers. The series currently airs on HGTV in both Canada and the United States, as well as several other markets around the world.
"This Food That Wine" is the ultimate wine and food pairing experience. In every episode, hosts Angie & Stacey meet up with someone planning a party (birthday, games night, bachelorette party, home coming, etc.). They get together in Angie's kitchen for a day of menu planning, cooking and wine pairing. Then, armed with recipes and a wine list, our "guest du jour" returns to home to cook up a feast and bask in the adulation of his/her happy guests.
While propelling forward with these innovative programs, Knight Enterprises continues to develop new series including multiple new projects for Food Network Canada, Life Network Canada, CTV. The company is also positioning itself to be a leader in content development for the mobile media markets.

Famous quotes containing the word programs:
“Short of a wholesale reform of college athletics—a complete breakdown of the whole system that is now focused on money and power—the women’s programs are just as doomed as the men’s are to move further and further away from the academic mission of their colleges.... We have to decide if that’s the kind of success for women’s sports that we want.”
—Christine H. B. Grant, U.S. university athletic director. As quoted in the Chronicle of Higher Education, p. A42 (May 12, 1993)
“Government ... thought [it] could transform the country through massive national programs, but often the programs did not work. Too often they only made things worse. In our rush to accomplish great deeds quickly, we trampled on sound principles of restraint and endangered the rights of individuals.”
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
“Will TV kill the theater? If the programs I have seen, save for “Kukla, Fran and Ollie,” the ball games and the fights, are any criterion, the theater need not wake up in a cold sweat.”
—Tallulah Bankhead (1903–1968)
