The Living Channel is a New Zealand television station. It is a joint venture between John McCready/JT Taylor and Touchdown Productions Limited. The channel focuses entirely on programming relating to lifestyle and is similar to The LifeStyle Channel in Australia or HGTV in the U.S.. It broadcasts on SKY TV in New Zealand and features local programming as well as a range of international programming. It features programming in areas such as design, health, wellbeing, travel, pets, fashion, automotive, antiques, gardening, fitness, art and homemaking. Programmes include Antiques Roadshow UK, Bargain Hunt, DIY Scrapbooking, Garden Challenge, Homes under the Hammer, House Doctor, Pet Friends, Pilot Guides, Retail Therapy, Room for Improvement and The Hairdresser.
Since its launch The Living Channel has proven a surprise hit for SKY TV, especially its food and cuisine programming block, which no doubt was a major factor in the creation of its sister station, Food Television in 2005
