Looks like it. Karen Martini will show how to cook something tasty that’s also nutritious, then they’ll flip to a US greasy burger cook off.

That’s because we don’t cook and we eat out. A lot.

possibly or doing what community TV used to do in the various markets with its “Renaissance TV” during the day 9am til 4pm in metro markets (if think), maybe have certain sections of the schedule for 7Food and 7Living

Could 7Food be a new website akin to 7Travel?
It seems like there will be a 7Food website as Seven registered the domain name. Max Mason at the AFR is usually spot on with his media stories, so I think we can expect Seven to announce a new channel.
At one point, Seven were looking at a second racing channel - is that on hold now?
Is it possible that 7Two and 7Mate could be rolled into one to make way for these possible new channels on 7?

CHARLES STILES MOTHERF**KERS! 
It’s odd they have chosen red considering all of their other channels have been another colour scheme?
This does make me wonder if they have just chosen to do this as a desperate measure to keep the network shares up?

The US Food Network logo is red. The 7FN logo looks to be that same dull shade of red instead of the bright red on the network logo.
