Lifestyle (formerly known as The LifeStyle Channel) is an Australian television channel. The channel launched on 1 September 1997.[1] The channel has an emphasis on contemporary lifestyle interests. Its programming covers topics including food and wine, home and garden, real estate, shopping, leisure, travel and real life drama.[2]
Lifestyle has three subsidiary channels: Lifestyle Food, a channel dedicated to food and cooking, Lifestyle Home which is dedicated to DIY and garden advice, and Fox Arena which is dedicated to reality television and pop culture programming.[3] Lifestyle also broadcasts other programs ranging from food, wine, home design, gardening, leisure, travel, and real life drama[4]
On 1 March 2011 a HD simulcast of Lifestyle launched on Austar and Foxtel on channel 216.[5]
On 19 September 2016, Lifestyle refreshed its look which included a new logo.[6] It changed its logo once again in November 2019 as part of an overall brand refresh. The new logo was also adopted by LifeStyle Food and LifeStyle Home.[7] In addition to this, the Fox Arena channel was placed under the Lifestyle family, whilst retaining its brand name and programming.
