Corus stated that it intended to continue operating most of the affected networks under new brands, maintaining their existing original programming while making new content acquisitions to supplant WBD-owned programs.<ref name="corus-wbd-loss-pr" /> In September, Corus announced that the current Food Network would rebrand as "Flavour Network" on December 30, 2024, with the channel's slate for the 2024–25 season featuring new and renewed original series (including new series featuring [[Andrew Phung]] and [[Pamela Anderson]], and ''[[Top Chef Canada]]'' being renewed for a twelfth season), and new acquisitions (including ''[[Gordon Ramsay's Food Stars]]'' and ''[[Kitchen Nightmares]]'' among others). Some repeats of Food Network U.S. programming will continue airing into 2025, while the network's launch lineup also includes a program licensed from WBD-owned [[Max (streaming service)|Max]] (''Chasing Flavor with [[Carla Hall]]'').<ref name=":2">{{cite web|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/technology/article-corus-announces-two-new-lifestyle-networks-after-rogers-scoops-up-food/|title=Corus announces two new lifestyle networks after Rogers scoops up Food Network and HGTV|first=Alex|last=Nino Gheciu|work=[[The Globe and Mail]]|date=September 18, 2024|access-date=September 18, 2024}}</ref><ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Thiessen |first=Connie |date=2024-09-18 |title=Corus unveils Flavour Network and Home Network |url=https://broadcastdialogue.com/corus-unveils-flavour-network-and-home-network/ |access-date=2024-09-18 |website=Broadcast Dialogue |language=en-US}}</ref>

At some point after the rebranding, Television Food Network, G.P. divested its stake in the subsidiary that holds Flavour Network's license to Corus Media Holdings, making it sole owner.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ownership Chart 32i: Corus Media Holdings - Discretionary Services |url=https://crtc.gc.ca/ownership/eng/cht032i.pdf |access-date=2025-05-26 |publisher=CRTC |format=PDF}}</ref>
