Carlton Food Network (later branded Taste CFN following an investment by Sainsbury's) was a British television channel run by Carlton Television, showing food and cookery programmes. It launched on 1 September 1996 on cable. It was also on the ONdigital platform, as part of a group of five Carlton owned channels (the others being Carlton Select, Carlton World, Carlton Kids, and Carlton Cinema.
It showcased the best of Carlton and other ITV companies cookery programmes, and broadcast 24 hours a day after Carlton Select ceased broadcasting in 2000.
In late 2001, the channel (now branded as Taste CFN) was closed due to 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.
