==Carriage==
===Past American carriage disputes===
On January 1, 2010, [[HGTV]] and Food Network were removed from cable provider [[Cablevision]], which operates systems serving areas surrounding [[New York City]]. Scripps removed HGTV and Food Network from Cablevision following the expiration of the company's carriage contract on December 31, 2009; Cablevision and Scripps had been in negotiations for several months to agree on a new contract, but no progress had been made. The discontinuance of Food Network from Cablevision led the channel to make arrangements with Tribune-owned [[The CW|CW]] affiliates [[WPIX]] in New York City and [[WCCT-TV|WTXX]] in [[Hartford, Connecticut]], to broadcast a special episode of ''[[Iron Chef America]]'' with First Lady [[Michelle Obama]] on January 10, 2010, after that episode enjoyed high ratings on its January 3 cable premiere.<ref>[https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052748704160504574641202605830242 Wall Street Journal: "Scripps to Offer Free Show In Fight With Cablevision", January 6, 2010.
