Fine Living Network (also known as FLN or Fine Living) was an American specialty television network owned by Scripps Networks Interactive. Founded in 2002 in Los Angeles, California, it was announced in October 2005 that its headquarters would move to Knoxville, Tennessee to be with sister network HGTV.

From September 3, 2004 to October 19, 2009, a Canadian version of FLN was broadcast under the name Fine Living. It was replaced by a Canadian version of DIY Network.
In October 2009, it was announced that Fine Living Network would be re-branded as Cooking Channel, with content similar to sister channel Food Network. The original plan was to implement the change in the fall of 2010,[1] but it was later announced that the switch was being moved up to happen on May 31, 2010 to coincide with Memorial Day.[2]
Fine Living Network signed off for the last time on May 31, 2010 at 5:00am ET (4:00am CT). The last thing shown was a throwback of one of the network's launch promos depicting the Grim Reaper walking to a house's front door, holding a piece of paper with the Fine Living Network logo on it, and ringing the doorbell before a cut to black.[3]
