on May 27th, 2008Emeril Live lives again
July 7 is changeup day for Chef Emeril Lagasse, whose long-running Emeril Live ceased production in December. That day, the Food Network will remove the reruns from its evening lineup and move the program to its sister channel, the Fine Living Network, to occupy the 7 PM slot seven days a week. Some new episodes are planned.
Five fresh episodes for Fine Living will be shown the first week, then after that every Monday’s program for the first two months or so will be new. Reruns will continue on FN in the afternoons.
“As you know in television, things have to evolve and this is a little evolution for me,” Lagasse told the Associated Press.
Fine Living is in about 50 million homes, compared with 90 million for the Food Network. It is becoming, in part, a repository for cooking shows too “cheffy” for FN, which is now driven by entertainment and travelogues. Fine Living is where to find Mario Batali’s Molto Mario, Wolfgang Puck and Iron Chef Japan. It also features Martha Stewart, who bought much of Lagasse’s empire in February.
