7Food Network

Of course. They copy each other like always. I’m going to predict 9Flex - Australia’s first free-to-air fitness channel.

Or 9Aldi, Australia’s first grocery shopping channel. Premieres at 4:20 in Ayr, near Townsville.

They should put on the old show or remake Surprise Chef with Aristos Papandroulakis.

How about a reboot of Surprise Chef where randoms just bust into unsuspecting houses to see what they’re cooking. :laughing:

Good pick up! :wink:

Of course there’s no video/audio stream allocated to the channel at the moment, but one would imagine that LCN-78 will be lit up with a placeholder once SBS Food Network is rebranded as SBS Food or sometime after.

The lowercase branding is really bothering me

just checked and nothing for prime7

Keep checking. I’m sure it’ll be there any day now. It only took them 18 months to launch 7Flix on Prime. Something to look forward to in 2020.

That’s weird. I just retuned my MPEG-4 capable STB & 7food hasn’t come up after rescanning. :confused:
I’m in Sydney.

EDIT: Just rescanned the Samsung TV on the other bedroom & 7food came up.

Same goes for Adelaide. Slightly surprised there’s no placeholder card, they could give 7flix’s “A New Channel is Coming Soon” card another spin.

Service available in Brisbane but not regional Queensland.

Interesting. I can definitely remember seeing 7’s a new channel is coming card in NQ before 7flix launched, and it launched here same day as metro.
Maybe 7food won’t launch here same day as metro.

I mean, they still haven’t been able to give us 7HD yet either, so I shouldn’t be too surprised

The fact that it has “network” in the LCN name suggests to me that it will be the same feed nationally eg. same programmes and ads everywhere?

It may be one national feed (the same as RACING.COM) but I would Imagine such a setup would only be temporary until they have the capacity in house to have seperate capital city + RQLD feeds
